Overview

What does it mean to play with heart? Is it talent? Is it skill? Or is it something deeper-a fire inside that refuses to let you give anything less than everything you have?This is the incredible story of a boy from New Mexico who didn't just want to be good at baseball-he wanted to be great. From the moment he could hold a bat, he practiced with an intensity that amazed everyone around him. While other kids played for fun, he played like a champion, treating every backyard game like the World Series. Discover the unique father-son training sessions that built not just a player, but a warrior. Learn how he dominated high school baseball in Albuquerque, became a legend at LSU, and was drafted second overall by the Houston Astros. But natural talent was only part of his story-it was his fierce competitive spirit, his refusal to accept defeat, and his ability to perform when the pressure was highest that made him special. From clutch playoff performances to helping the Astros win the World Series championship, see what happens when preparation meets opportunity and heart meets talent. Experience the biggest moments through his eyes-the game-changing hits, the defensive brilliance, and the leadership that inspired teammates to raise their game. Perfect for young athletes who want to understand what separates good players from great ones, and great ones from champions. This book teaches that passion, intensity, and playing every moment like it matters is what creates legends. Champions aren't born. They're forged through fire, dedication, and an unstoppable will to win. Recommended for readers ages 6-12
