Bookroo's summary

From 1845 to today, the Schneider family navigates American life, united by baseball and Brooklyn. Each generation faces battles, triumphs, and losses, but their love for the game and each other endures. As they pitch perfect games and dodge bullets, the family's legacy unfolds over nine innings, revealing the unbreakable bond between kin and sport. What challenges will the next generation face, and how will the game continue to shape their destiny?

From the publisher

Baseball is in the Schneider family blood. Each member of this family, from family founder Felix Schneider in the 1800s to Snider Flint in the present day, has a strong tie to the game and to Brooklyn. Through the years this family has dodged bullets on a battlefield, pitched perfect games, and dealt with the devastating loss of family and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Nine innings–nine generations. One game–one family. Through it all, one thing remains true: the bonds of family are as strong as a love of the game.
