HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL about…
“A Heartfelt Journey Through Baseball, Brotherhood, and Growing Up”
As a lifelong baseball fan, I was swept away by Pete Scariano’s vivid storytelling. His journey is more than a sports memoir—it’s a slice of Americana, a tribute to family bonds, and a love letter to the game. From sandlot rivalries to the elusive Wilson A2000, this book captures the magic of childhood dreams and the bittersweet lessons of life.
“Baseball as You’ve Never Felt It Before”
This isn’t just about a glove—it’s about grit, hope, and the moments that shape us. Scariano’s memories are rich with detail and humor, yet tinged with the quiet ache of dreams just out of reach. Whether you’ve ever worn cleats or not, you’ll find yourself rooting for the boy on the field, the man he became, and the enduring spirit of the game.
“Nostalgia, Humor, and Heart in Every Page”
The Quest for Wilson A2000 made me laugh out loud, wipe away a tear, and remember my own childhood summers. Scariano writes with warmth and honesty, bringing 1950s and ’60s Chicago—and its ballfields—to life. This is more than a memoir; it’s a time capsule of community, resilience, and the kind of friendships you never forget.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
I really enjoyed Peter’s story about growing up on the southwest side of Chicago, playing baseball and never giving up on his dream of owning that beautiful A2000. From his early days of playing, to tossing the ball around with his grandson, the story offers so much more than just a quest for that glove. And he shares it all with the reader. You will not be disappointed.

From dusty prairies to baseball with grandkids. It is quite a ride. And all the while the Wilson A2000 is at the center of it all.

Beautiful Story
Beautiful, wholesome and heartwarming story! It felt as if I was in the shoes of the author experiencing everything that he did throughout his life’s journey. Reminded me that at times, life can be devastating, hard and disappointing but ultimately, it’s also beautiful, fulfilling and a gift.
