Chasing Baseball For Life And Other Adventures: Dedicated To Nearo Williams Jr

In 2003 my older brother Nearo (Bub) Williams Jr. began writing a memoir consisting of his great love of the game of baseball, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and Jackie Robinson, one of his heroes. Beginning in his days of playing Little League through semi-professional status as a starting pitcher, Bub held a burning desire to one day pitch Major League Baseball (MLB). In Little League, he began to learn how the game of baseball resembled situations of life and he used baseball metaphors as a method towards gaining ultimate life achievements. As a scholar of the game, Bub made it a life's work to mentor young people using this same concept, teaching them valuable lessons in strategic thinking.The manuscript also pays homage to numerous early MLB players and Negro Baseball League (NBL) players, spanning from the early 1920s through the 1980s. In it you will find motivating life coaching advice for all ages. The story begins in Bridgewater Township, NJ in the late 1950s, with highlights of other career adventures after he permanently relocates to Atlanta GA in 1972. On October 28, 2008, Bub passed away, suddenly. Knowing this was a work that he passionately desired to finish, it has always been on my heart to complete his manuscript as a dedication to him. The lessons within the work are priceless to not only future baseball players, or to those who love the game, but to all those striving to succeed in life!
