Eric, his best friend, hates it. But when Ben writes an algorithm for the optimal baseball road trip, an impossible dream of every pitch of 30 games in 30 stadiums in 30 days, who will he call on to take shifts behind the wheel, especially when those shifts will include nineteen hours straight from Phoenix to Kansas City? Eric, of course. Will Eric regret it? You might ask, Are Dodger Dogs the same thing as Fenway Franks? As Ben and Eric can now attest, most definitely. On June 1, 2013, Ben and Eric set out to see America through the bleachers and concession stands of Americas favorite pastime. Along the way, human error and Mother Nature throw their mathematically optimized schedule a few curveballs. A mix-up in Denver turns a planned day off in Las Vegas into a twenty-hour drive. And a summer storm of biblical proportions threatens to make the whole thing logistically impossible, and thats if they dont kill each other first. Charming, insightful, and hilarious, I Dont Care If We Never Get Back is a book about the love of the game, the limits of fandom, and the limitlessness of friendship. 510 3 $a Bklst 04/15/2014. 510 3 $a PW 03/03/2014. 510 3 $a Kirkus 03/01/2014. 650 0 $a Baseball fans $z United States. 650 0 $a Stadiums $z United States. 650 0 $a Baseball $v Anecdotes. 600 10 $a Blatt, Ben $x Travel $z United States. 600 10 $a Brewster, Eric $x Travel $z United States. 650 0 $a Automobile travel $z United States. 700 1 $a Brewster, Eric, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20141202014340.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BB047E2C6EF011E4A96E8DE8DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
