Delighted to let you know that Drs. Dale and Heidi L.M. Jacobs' recent book, 100 Miles of Baseball, has been included in the CBC Books Spring Preview. Congratulations! Drawing a radius of one hundred miles around their home in Windsor, Ontario, Dale and Heidi set a goal of seeing fifty games at all levels of competition over the following summer. From bleachers behind high schools, to manicured university turf, to the steep concrete stands of major league parks, 100 Miles of Baseball tells the story of how two fans rediscovered their love of the game and with it their relationships and the region they call home.
