I do not play baseball nor am I follower of baseball. Yet for some reason I was prompted to read The Matheny Manifesto by Mike Matheny. I figured I might be bored but was pleasantly surprised as Matheny captured my attention holding it throughout the book. Yes, there were some stats and explanations about baseball I did not appreciate as some baseball fans, nevertheless,so much of what he wrote held truth I could relate to as a parent. He talks about eight keys that lead to success: humility, leadership, confidence, character, faith, teamwork, class and toughness. This inspirational story can teach us "about winning on the field and in life." I think that is why I enjoyed it so much.
