I love underdogs. There’s something so satisfying about seeing an unlikely hero take on the odds, challenge conventional thinking, and surprise the critics…I live for those moments, because those moments prove that it’s not all about batting averages, analysis, and statistics.

Excellent introduction! The analogy is well handled and makes appropriate appearances in the rest of the chapter. One thing this chapter succeeds in is making me want to read the rest of the book. Honestly, twenty-somethings losing their faith is not a topic or subject I have much interest in. It is not something on my heart. Nevertheless, I want to read the rest of the book. Very good start, Wildman.
Thanks, Luke! You’re a sharp guy and a good writer, so your comments mean a lot. You know where to find the rest of the book, so help yourself…
Page 1: “Everyone’s picked the Lakers…” No ” apostrophe-s” needed, and I’m not sure how I feel about the tense in that paragraph. Part of me thinks the “have”s should be “had”s, and “feature” should be “featured” for consistency through the story…

Page 6: I love this sentence, “a puff of orange colored dust where a winner could have been” That’s good stuff!
