As a manager and owner of a traveling baseball team, I believe Metal Spikes should be read by every single kid dreaming of playing baseball at a higher level... be it high school, college or professional. Not only does this book teach baseball fundamentals, it teaches -life fundamentals-. The mentors in Billy's life are really mentors for all of us. I strongly recommend to all travel baseball managers to get this book for your players. It will help your kids become better ball players, and teach them how to dream big.
