One would think that a book with a picture of a baseball player on the front cover would be essentially about baseball. However, Making Solid Contract covers a wider variety of topics including being drafted into the army and serving during the Vietnam War. Throughout the story, the author, a former college baseball player, relates the main character's reliance on his relationship with God as he encounters problems with people, situations, and adversity. Making Solid Contact is more about life than just baseball, it also covers many baseball stories that will be familiar to those who love baseball and the players of our national pastime.
