<p>The March 19 issue of <em>Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal </em>features a story on how "<a href=”http://sportsbusinessjournal.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=article.main&articleId=54253″>Athletes hope books will inspire children</a>." Titles include Alex Rodriguez’s <em>Out of the Ballpark</em>, David Eckstein’s <em>Have Heart</em>, and Eric Gange’s <em>Breaking Barriers.</em></p>
<p>Rodriguez writes about his early failures as a little leaguer and how perserverance made him the star he is today.</p>
<p>Eckstein tells about not letting his diminuitive stature stand in his way of achieving his dream to become a major leaguer, as well as discussing his family dynamics that have helped overcome kidney failure in three of the five children and their father.</p>
<p>The publishers of Gange’s book claim that "Each volume…is filled with details of the athlete’s childhood, schools attended, favorite foods, and more." In this case, "he talks about the evolution of his goatee and the reason he likes to take the mound to ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ by Guns N’ Roses." </p>
