Noticing a lack of outdoor activity among today’s youth prompted Jeff to write the My Little Dugout Diaries series.

Thren shares, “Reality or Dream?
This is the story about one little boy’s major-league dream. Gabe plays T-ball and dreams of one day becoming a major-league baseball player. But how will Gabe make it to the big leagues when he hasn’t even been to a major-league ballpark? Will Gabe’s dream come true?
Come along with Gabe and Granddad on their exciting journey, riding buses and planes to see how the big leaguers play the game of baseball. Maybe Gabe will grow up to play too!
While this book is about baseball, we all have dreams of becoming more than we are. Will your dream become reality?”
