商品簡介
Soon to be a major motion picture, Seeing Home: The Ed Lucas Story is the incredible true tale of a beloved blind sportscaster who refused to let his disability prevent him from achieving his dreams.
It’s an all-American story: a young boy grows up in poverty, dreaming of the big leagues and someday working with his superstar heroes.
For Ed Lucas, however, the story had a unique twist. In 1951, at the age of twelve, Ed lost his sight when he was hit in the face with a baseball. Fueled by his love of the game, hard work, and great faith, Ed ignored the naysayers and made it to the majors—not as a baseball player but as an Emmy-winning broadcaster in a league of his own.
Ed shares his incredible journey from the streets of Jersey City to The House That Ruth Built. At the heart of his narrative is the overwhelming strength of his family’s belief in him. Ed’s mother, a devout woman, wrote letters to star baseball players to help cheer up her son. Eventually the greats Ed had once admired from afar became his extended family, even helping him win a history-making legal battle when his two young sons were taken from him simply because he was disabled.
Seeing Home is an inspiring autobiography of someone who is blind, yet has seen the world—and his favorite sport—from a singular point of view. We all face challenges, big and small. Ed Lucas is living proof we can overcome.
