Baseball fans, get your signed copy of "The Season of Living Dangerously: A Fan's Notes on Baseball's Strangest Season" by Oak Park's own, Robert Kopecky. Proceeds from his book sales will benefit Beyond Hunger.

*includes a Beyond Hunger Baseball cap

Reviews:

"Kopecky writes with a passion for the sport cultivated over many decades, as well as deep knowledge of the game's complex statistics, sabermetrics, and unwritten rules. His book provides a thorough account of perhaps the strangest season in baseball's 150-year history, one that fans will find both meaningful and enduring, particularly after the pandemic has ended and life has returned to something resembling normal." - BookLife

"Robert Kopecky's The Season of Living Dangerously is an engaging diary of Major League Baseball's pandemic-shortened season in 2020. Kopecky's amiable and thoughtful prose reminds you that, more than any other sport, baseball is a game of conversation. He has a natural feel for its ambling rhythms, a sharp ear for its poetry and wit, a keen eye for the revealing statistic, and contagious affection for all manner of characters in the game - all-stars, working stiffs, eccentrics, and scribes. Most rewarding is Kopecky's running dialogue between baseball's past and present as he documents what was the strangest, most unsettling season in baseball history, yet one that also offered reassurance that whatever else is wrong with America, we still have baseball. Thank God." - Mark Stryker, author of Jazz from Detroit (University of Michigan Press)
