Drew Bridges Shares THE SECOND-GREATEST BASEBALL GAME EVER PLAYED

RALEIGH, N.C.

Thousands of miles from home, Charlie Bridges dreamed of an end to war and a quiet, peaceful life - one filled with the simple pleasures of his wife, his children, and baseball.

In "The Second-Greatest Baseball Game Ever Played," Drew Bridges, Charlie's son, contemplates his perception of his father's life by squaring memories of a cherished baseball game from his childhood with Charlie's letters home during World War II. The result is an intimate look at a soldier's return and a touching tribute to a father from his son.

"His letters reveal his heart, mind, and dreams of a future," Bridges said. "I learned things about him I would never have anticipated."

Bridges and his father connected over a shared love for baseball, and the action of the book revolves around a game Charlie organized for his sons and the other boys in their small town - a game that would serve as a catalyst for the start of a local Little League program.

"An imperfect and in most ways ordinary man can have a profound and positive impact on the lives of others," Bridges said. "I had a unique opportunity to honor his life - a life that is a story worth telling."
