John Berns has circled the base paths more than a few times in his lifetime and he has finally written it down. The Sturgeon Bay head baseball coach traded in his scorecard for a notepad to write his book “Nine Innings of Memories and Heroes.” Written with his friend Tom Roy, Berns highlights the different people in his life that have had a positive impact on his life and the lessons he learned. Some of those people include his father, his substitute little league coach, and other coaches in the sport of baseball. He hopes readers not only learn a little bit about his journey, but are also inspired to jot down a few memories of their own.

Berns is just as anxious to fill out a scorecard again as he is for people to read his book, which is available directly through him and online. He has not been able to coach baseball since last year due to the pandemic. You can hear our full conversation online with Berns on the NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com podcast page.
