Summary

This celebrated, beloved novel led to Gene's Oprah Show Invitation. I Never Played Catch With My Father. From Prolific, Pulitzer-nominated Author Gene Cartwright.

This novel, based on a true story, is about more than baseball and about more than fathers and sons. You cannot listen to it and ever be the same. This novel is also about mothers and daughters, parents and children, about time that passes all too quickly. This heart-touching, inspiring saga reveals that there are no insignificant events in a child's life.

James T. Phalen is a wealthy baby-boomer with a lifelong love of baseball and a passion for helping those less fortunate. When he realizes that all his wealth and fame cannot purchase a memory never shared, he leaves his executive suite and catches the "last train home" to try and complete the circle with his ailing father.

Play with your children. The years pass in the blink of an eye. See This Video: youtube.com/watch?v=xuStnpR-VjE
