The authors also said they were amazed by the reception the book has received from former MLB players. Before the first publication, the authors sent the book to New York Mets Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver. They said they were astounded with Seaver’s response.
“When you read this book to your child, you will be instilling values that your child will take to the schoolyard today and to the world tomorrow,” said Seaver, who voluntary wrote the foreword to the book.
“When I asked him [Seaver] what he wanted, he just said to me, ‘I want as many children as possible to read this book,’” Saviano said.
