Together they discovered their mutual love of writing and teaching children. They coached local kids in community programs and later expanded on their love of baseball by volunteering for a charity called Pitch in for Baseball. This love to help others was inspired by Moldovans son Tyler. In lieu of gifts for his ninth birthday, he asked friends to bring used or new baseball equipment.

This was the inspiration for the story and both Moldovan and Conkling support this wonderful organization.This is a heartwarming story that appeals to all ages, teaching the valuable lesson of paying it forward. It is inspired by the compassion of a nine-year-old boy celebrating a birthday where he chose to give rather than receive. The reader will learn how easy it is to make a difference in the world as sometimes the little things we do have the greatest impact.A heartwarming story for baseball fans of all ages and for parents and educators that want to teach the lesson of paying it forward.
