A Glove of Their Own is for the kids who toss the bat to choose captains and pick teams, playing in a neighborhood field or an empty lot. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll find no coaches, no concession stands, and sometimes just an old bat and ball. But once the first pitch is thrown, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll find the real heart and soul of America. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll find baseball in its purest form. And the publisher of <\/em>A Glove of Their Own wants to help all kids know this simple joy by donating a portion of the proceeds to help bring equipment to the kids who play without it.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
