With decades of experience as a baseball reporter and television host, Goldberg has witnessed firsthand the impact of “small ball” on life beyond the diamond. Fundamentals like bunting, stealing bases and advancing the runner translate as much in business as they do in baseball. From star athletes, unsung role players and unexpected heroes, this book is filled with stories that will inspire you to pursue every dream with purpose, no matter how big or small.

Praise for Small Ball Big Dreams

“As a baseball reporter, Joel has to capture the key facts and in the moment atmosphere of a game. Something he does quite well. But what sets Joel apart from most others is his genuine interest in the people and stories beyond the Game. Small Ball Big Dreams is a fine example of Joel’s ability to present those stories with insight, empathy, and heart.”

Bob Costas

“Joel’s stories of Big Dreams will warm your heart—stories from well-known baseball players and stories from unknown dreamers. We all have a story and dreams. I was reminded to appreciate my own small-ball days that led to bigger dreams coming true. It’s worth your time to read and rekindle your dreams.”

John J. Sherman

“Joel is the best reporter I’ve been around. His ability to translate the message from the team/player to the fans was elite. Joel would notice every detail in the game and always wanted perspective from a player so the fan could learn alongside all of us.”
