  Haagen-Dazs is its Own Reward

  This book explains virtue theory

  or character ethics

  for the everyday reader who wants to know how to become a better person. It helps us answer the question \"Who do I want to be?\"

  Haagen-Dazs is its Own Reward

  Edited by Chris Arvidson and Diana Nelson Jones. I have one of the essays in this book. Written by and for baseball fans (or those trying to live with one)

  this collection of essays joins a perennial conversation all fans have --\"Why do we love baseball?\" Thirty contributors share personal narratives of how they found an abiding passion for the sport and how their relationship to it changed over the years. Tracing the thematic arc of a typical season

  the essays begin with stories of spring training optimism

  followed by the guts and grind of the regular season

  and ending with the glory (or heartbreak) of the playoffs.

  The Love of Baseball: Essays by Lifelong Fans

  A look at ethics through the lens of baseball.

  “Games People Play (And Why They Should Play Them)”

  I have visited all of the Major League Baseball parks

  plus the Carolina League and South Atlantic League.

  Television game shows

  I have appeared on three television game shows: \nWho Wants to Be a Millionaire?\nJeopardy!\nMerv Griffin's Crosswords
