The Perfect Swing

By: James McGirk
Narrated by: Nick Jonas

Publisher's Summary

Hear singer, songwriter, and actor Nick Jonas lend his voice to the history of one of his favorite subjects: baseball. 

This unique story is written specifically to help you drift off, with no clear beginning, middle, or end, so you don’t need to follow the details too closely. In it, you’ll hear Nick Jonas describe how Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams reached legendary status, and how they shaped the three components of a perfect swing. 

What is the perfect swing? You might be asleep before you find out.

This title is part of a collection of audio experiences created to deliver your best sleep during this difficult time. While we’re giving this away for free, we’ll also be donating meals daily through Newark Working Kitchens so those in need and first responders don’t go to bed hungry.

Brought to you in collaboration with Thrive Global.

Awesome! Works with me and my whole family!

Nick Jonas and James McGirk provide us with a wonderful piece of interesting nostalgia from a by-gone American era with even a Star Wars reference thrown in to make you sure to fall asleep with pure hypnomononity (my term) in shear minutes. There are giants who walk among us and these gentlemen, Jonas and McGirk, certainty seem prime examples. 😅

Magic

I often have trouble getting to sleep, but this bedtime story reading works every time. It’s a great story, though I’ve never actually heard it all the way through because somehow, no matter how much my mind is racing, I drift off to sleep. Thank you!

not interesting for me,

the voice was tired and sad, I don't understand this choice for sport and also was recommended for sleeping which didn't work for me .
