The People We Meet on the Ball Field
About This Conversation
For years, baseball fields were our second home.
In this episode, Denise and Tim look back on decades of youth sports—the unforgettable coaches, lifelong friendships, heartbreaking moments, and surprising life lessons that came with raising three boys on the ball field.
