You don't have to know anything about baseball to fully enjoy this book.
It's a story of a journey of one man's dream. Right from the beginning the reader is taken by the hand and taken along with Steve Melia, a brother, a son, a business man, and a comedian.
He contemplated if and when he should make his dream come true. Even though there were some circumstances that could have changed his mind, Steve realized that if he was to make it happen, it had to happen now.
The circumstances would be the deciding factor not to go, never mind the cost of the journey. It was an expensive dream. His dream of attending every New York Yankee game in one season, home and away, all 162 of them.
His plans included to hit many comedy clubs on the way. It was a busy six months for Steve.
Steve spent six months living out of a suitcase, had 33 flights, spent 53 nights in hotels, slept in 23 different people's houses, logged 40,000 miles traveling to 15 cities and many beers.
I feel like I got to know Steve Melia and understand him. I laughed with him, and cried with him. I was embarrassed for him and raced for the plane with him. I felt for him and supported him.
This book tells of baseball, but it mostly tells of a man who is taking his life to new heights and new places. A man who decided to go after what he wants, encouraging us all to do the same. ( )

There aren't a lot of fans who have been able to attend all 162 games in one season for a professional baseball team. For the New York Yankees, there are only five people I know of who have managed to accomplish this task. four of them (including myself) did it as part of a reality show on the Yankees Entertainment and Sports (YES) Network in 2005. The other is Steve Melia

If anyone is inspired by my story. I hope they'll realize that the human potential, once properly cultivated, ais virtually limitless. What's that dream you always has as a kid? what got your heart pumping faster -- even if it seemd irrational? for me, it was the crazy idea of attending every single Yankees game in one season. For you, it might be something altogether different. Stop living someone else's life and start living the life you were meant to live. You've only got one chance at this. Get out there and live your dream!
