Views

As a writer, Myles Schrag hopes that books such as his, Diamond in the Desert, not only showcase a deep love and respect for the game of baseball but also encourage communities to be proud of their contributions to American society and encourage people to delve into the reasons why sports can be so particular.

Quotations: "I have long written and read about sports, but when sports reach emotions and issues beyond the playing field that they become a worthwhile topic."

"Writing allows me to discover, and I hope the result of that writing does the same for the readers."
