This book was mentioned as a source for the story about McKay Christensen, a young athlete who chose to serve a mission over a professional baseball contract.

I know this story, Hank. And while he was on this mission, he got up in the middle of the night to sign baseball cards, and I have one of them. And it says something on the back that you will not see in any other baseball card in the world probably. It says, Christianson made a commitment prior to signing with California.

Now, John, I know that you know that story because I got it from your book, Sports Life Lessons from Court, Field, and Gridiron.
