Robert E. Ingram brings baseball to life with two feel-good novels, one reviving the game, the other breaking barriers.

Have you ever wondered if a woman could make major league baseball? Have you thought it’s impossible?

In The Amelia Earhart of Baseball, Amelia Collier is the pioneer who breaks through. In this sequel to The Genius Who Saved Baseball, Charlie Collier has become the commissioner of baseball. Charlie’s innovative thinking saves baseball from itself when he eliminates guaranteed contracts, thereby lowering ticket prices and making baseball affordable again for fans.

Adding even more excitement is Amelia’s debut as the first woman to make The Show, as an ace knuckleball pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. The fast-paced story includes mystery, romance, humor, strong, well-developed characters, and even a couple of villains. Although a sequel to The Genius Who Saved Baseball, the story can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Once again, Robert Ingram offers a bonus chapter, his Nine Innings Principles drawing on lessons learned by the characters as models to live by.

Ever wish you could regain the magic you felt as a child when you first played the game of baseball? Do you feel like all the modern analytics and statistics are ruining enjoyment of the game today?

In The Genius Who Saved Baseball, fourteen-year-old genius and baseball player Charlie Collier feels the same way. In a college class, he attempts to prove to his statistics professor that baseball’s obsession with analytics has resulted in a lower caliber of play. The professor gives him a C–. Undeterred, Charlie continues to work on his plan for a major league team to adopt his philosophies. He hits pay-dirt when his dad, a former minor leaguer, gets hired as an executive with the Nashville Knights, a new franchise in Major League Baseball. The team’s charismatic owner, country music legend Big T. McCraw, makes the boldest move since Billy Beane and Moneyball, when he decides to adopt Charlie’s unorthodox theories

While Charlie’s theories have their naysayers, soon he finds that not only have the Knights’  embraced him and his ideas, but he’s hobnobbing with celebrities, making new friends and celebrating with old ones, and ultimately, making baseball history.

Readers will travel with Charlie through the Knights’ first two seasons as they put the magic back into baseball and revolutionize the industry.

As a bonus chapter, author Robert Ingram offers his Nine Innings Principles, which draw on lessons learned by the characters, as models for readers to live by.
