Get ready to "LOL" with the funniest, most entertaining youth sports story of all time.
It's 1984 … and the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union is heating up to a fever pitch. With combat a near certainty, President Ronald Reagan and the infamous Russian General, Kostlitzo "BoneFace" Zolotov, make a secret pact to settle differences, not by fighting a war, but instead, by playing a kids' baseball game. Felix Farley, a dedicated, but often bumbling coach, is accidentally chosen to lead the American squad and quickly discovers he is in way over his head. But there's no turning back. He and his young ballplayers must find a way to save the free world from conquest by what President Reagan calls the "Evil Empire".

About the Author
Rick Fishman loves humor—seriously. The Clevelander also loves baseball and spent over a decade coaching youth teams in Lyndhurst, Ohio. Rick promised his bride a big diamond on her wedding day but, unfortunately, it came with four bases and a pitcher’s mound. Despite this, Lynn has put up her husband’s eccentric humor since 1984, the same year that Sandlot Summit was originally published on a typewriter. The new edition is a complete rewrite and includes the high energy illustrations of artist Doug Hoch.
The Fishmans have two adult children, Katie and Kyle. Scarlet and gray are the colors in this family as Rick and Katie are both Ohio State Buckeyes, graduating in 1974 and 2007 respectively. In 1992, Rick earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Records by painting the world’s largest map on the playground of his kids’ elementary school. An accountant by trade, he recently took some time off for a brief but rewarding adventure as a high school math teacher. There’s a Russian connection here too. Rick’s grandparents bid the czar farewell in 1913 and settled in Canton, Ohio.
