They weren't sure what they were missing, but they had an idea where it might be found: in their own backyard. Drawing a radius of one hundred miles around their home in Windsor, Ontario, Heidi and Dale set a goal of seeing fifty games within that circle in one summer, a schedule that took them across southwestern Ontario and into Michigan and Ohio, from bleachers behind high schools, to manicured university turf, to the steep concrete stands of major league parks. \u003cem\u003e100 Miles of Baseball\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of their rediscovery of their love of the game--and with it their relationships, and the region they call home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDale Jacobs\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of\u003cem\u003e Graphic Encounters: Comics and the Sponsorship of Multimodal Literacy\u003c\/em\u003e (Bloomsbury Academic, 2013).
