In the year 2166, baseball is just a distant memory, lost to history in the aftermath of a devastating second American Civil War a hundred years earlier. But, when Joe Scott, a curious 12-year-old stumbles upon a relic from the distant past, from before the war, it sparks a search for its meaning. Little does he know that the wheels of Providence have been unwittingly set in motion which leads him on an epic quest of adventure and discovery.
Full of heart, and a deep love of the game, The Death and Resurrection of Baseball is a thrilling tale of perseverance and triumph against all odds. Join Joe Scott, his family, and friends on their journey to rediscover the magic of baseball and prove that some traditions are worth preserving, no matter how far out into the future we go.

Critic Reviews
"...Douglas' novel opens with a classic cinematic set-up. It's one straight out of Spielberg's oeuvre..." —gagaoverbooks.com
"Connecting the past and this imagining of the future gives readers insight into the major problems of the present world, whilst also delivering a classic story with suspense, action, intrigue, and, perhaps most importantly, hope" —K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite (Five-Star Review)
"The epicness of this tale, and the sheer creativity of Douglas, is enough to make you overlook the fact that every character is nearly flawless and awash in politeness. But maybe that's part of what makes this feel-good story work." —Michael Popke, Award-Winning Journalist
