Love, Loss, and The Greatest PastimeBy Dr. Robert LiPumaLength9h 10m
About this audiobook
“Some stories begin at first pitch. Theirs began when the game stopped.”
Thirty ballparks. Thirty cities. One once-in-a-lifetime journey meant to celebrate the game they loved—and the life they’d built together.
Then, at Stadium Fifteen, everything changed.
His heart stopped.
Hers refused to.
For thirty minutes in the shadow of Busch Stadium, she fought to hold on to the man she’d shared decades with. When he survived, they faced a question neither had expected to ask:
Was this the end of the adventure… or the beginning of something deeper?
Chasing 30 is a story about baseball only on the surface. Beneath it lives a story of marriage, resilience, second chances, and what we discover when life brings us to the edge—and then hands us back to each other.
It’s about the courage to keep going.
The grace to come back.
And the quiet truth that home isn’t a place you reach—it’s the person you walk beside.
