Catchers, Cows, & Nachos

About the Book

Mark Gentry, like every other college student just about to graduate, is facing the most difficult decision of his life: what does he want to be when he grows up? Unlike most other graduating seniors, Mark Gentry is a thirty-one year old former professional baseball player without a notion of what he wants to do.

Mark's career counselor proposes agriculture as the answer. Mark's girlfriend believes that the solution lies in a ballpark in Helena, Montana.

Catchers, Cows, and Nachos, a sequel to 2001's Wildfire Summer, follows Mark Gentry's adventures in the Big Sky Country as he tries to determine his future on the other side of the backstop. While working undercover on the game-day staff of a baseball team, Mark not only stumbles across the answer to his question, he also learns that life is never more perfect than when one is surrounded by the three C's of baseball.
