Over the past four years Bob Sal
omon has dedicated his life to helping children using baseball as a platform. He helped produce the award winning children’s book, A Glove of Their Own, and created a movement that mirrors the book’s theme of spreading kindness with a pay-it-forward mindset. It has made a difference by impacting children in an attempt to better their future and inspire.

We are excited to announce Morgan James will publish the award-winning book in soft cover, with a portion of proceeds going back to Habitat for Humanity.
Expanding on the success, Bob is using the sport of football, to inspire more children and parents on a bigger scale. His newest story, entitled Beyond the Laces, is football at its best. The story gives a family the will and inspiration to overcome great adversity. Written to inspire children, Beyond the Laces is a children’s book that will appeal to all ages, tugging at the heartstrings of anyone who has ever endured the storms of life. This touching story promises to take the reader on a roller coaster of emotions, while simultaneously encouraging children and adults as they face their own future.
