The Reverend Dr. William A. Evertsberg
Baseball, they say, is as American as apple pie and Chevrolet. For many Americans, the game has a patina of magic and mystery (Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, 42, Fever Pitch). For many preachers, it is also the most theological game, so this summer we will be preaching a sermon series called The Church of Baseball.
