Catch – A Father and Son Story. Catch will be given away ($0.00) in honor of Father’s Day June 16-19 on Amazon Kindle.

Tim Turner, who turned 65 in May, opened his 50th season of pitching Men’s Fastpitch softball by hurling his Mound Legion team to a 12-4 win over Loretto Detour 19 last Thursday.

Turner recently released a short book (30 minute read) entitled Catch, where he explores the conflicting nature of his relationship with his Father as they played on the fastpitch softball diamonds of Iowa. His Dad was a Hall of Fame Softball player himself and his first regular ‘catcher’.

Turner began throwing in Men’s leagues in Cedar Rapids, Iowa at age 15 and has pitched at every level of the men’s game. He has played the last 17 years with the Mound team and they have won the Loretto 45+ Fastpitch League 5 of the past 6 years. He also pitched for the 60+ National Champion Anytime Fitness team from Minnesota in 2018.

In Thursday’s opener, Turner struck out 8 and didn’t walk anybody in throwing the complete game. He also added 3 hits and drove in 3 runs at the plate. Tim hopes to continue pitching despite his age, “I feel good and for the most part am still getting the job done. It’s something I love and I don’t see any reason to quit just yet.”

This book can be read on an Amazon Kindle or with the Kindle app on a phone, tablet, or computer.
