Frank Trejo's life proves no matter how poor the circumstances, dreams can come true. With a broom stick and bottle caps he escaped the poverty of the barrio to become one of the most feared hitters in softball.
Going Around 3rd Base In Life And Headed Home is the life story of a youth with a great desire to leave the barrio and his outhouse behind. He succeeded by swinging a broomstick at bottle caps, and developing a talent that resulted in being inducted into the International Softball Hall of Fame in 1990, and the Arizona Hispanic Sports Hall of Fame (I'm legal) in 2002. This book contains softball history, memoirs, humor, social & political commentary, and includes all players who have made the ISC All American Team since day one, as well as a story of the longest softball game in history - 34 innings and two pitchers went all the way.
