Shawn Greenâs career statistics can be found on the backs of baseball cards in shoe boxes across America: 328 home runs, 1,071 RBIs, .282 career batting average, All-Star, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger. . . . But numbers tell only part of the story.
His path to success was as grounded in philosophical study as in ballpark wisdom. Striving to find stillness within the rip-roaring scene of Major League Baseballâfrom screaming fans to national scandalsâ Green learned to approach the sport with a clear mind. In the tradition of Phil Jacksonâs Sacred Hoops,
Green shares the secrets to remaining focused both on and off the field, shedding light on a signature approach to living by using his remarkable baseball experiences to exemplify how one can find full awareness, presence, and, ultimately, fulfillment in any endeavor. Following his development from inconsistent rookie to established All-Star to aging veteran,
The Way of Baseball illustrates the spiritual practices that enabled him to âbring stillness into the flow of life.â Requiring mastery of perspective and continual management of ego, the game of baseball afforded Green the opportunity to explore his potential as more than just a ballplayer. A treasure of practical wisdom and an intimate look at what it really means to âlet go,â The Way of Baseball illuminates the creative possibilities within us all.
