Backyards to Ballparks

Eric Grey is the author of 2 books, “Backyards to Ballparks” & “Bases to Bleachers”.

These personal baseball stories are a tribute to why baseball remains the American pastime, how it connects friends, families, and communities. These memories all have baseball as a setting, but speak to how baseball provides joy and anguish, nourishes family traditions, creates friendships, and can profoundly affect you.

Eric is originally from Plainview, New York and got his BA from SUNY New Paltz in 1974. He made his way to San Francisco and his first job with the Department of Labor became his life-long career. His passions are baseball, rock and roll, politics, conversation and most of all, family and friends. His wife, Lynn, daughter Rachel, son David, daughter-in-law Lisa and granddaughter Juliet are all baseball fans.
