"Dad, Are You Pumped? A Father-Son Baseball Odyssey"Marc and his 12-year-old son Michael hit the highway on an awesome baseball road trip! Over two weeks, two countries, eight states, and 3,000 miles, the father-son team goes to eight games in six stadiums and visits the baseball, hockey and pro football halls of fame. But their trip is about a lot more than baseball. It is hot dogs, pizzas, laughs, talks, adventures, and misadventures--the stuff that memories are made of. "Dad, Are You Pumped" is about three generations connected by baseball, and how a special game becomes intertwined with family, friendships, and a career.
