About this audiobook
Thirty ballparks. Thirty cities. One marriage walking straight into the unexpected.
For years, Robert and Laurie LiPuma dreamed of visiting all thirty Major League Baseball stadiums. It was meant to be a celebration—a long-imagined road trip filled with scorecards, ballpark rituals, and the quiet joy of checking off a shared dream.
Then, at Stadium Fifteen, the journey broke open.
His heart stopped.
Hers refused to.
Chasing 30 is about baseball only on the surface. Beneath it lives a story of marriage tested by mortality, of grief and gratitude sharing the same breath, and of what happens when love is forced to grow deeper or not at all.
Chasing 30 isn’t about finishing a list.
It’s about discovering that “home” isn’t a place you reach.
It’s the person you walk beside.
