Yet Sexton argues that one is actually a pathway to the other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBaseball as a Road to God\u003c\/i\u003e is about touching that something that lies beyond logical understanding. Sexton illuminates the surprisingly large number of mutual concepts shared between baseball and religion: faith, doubt, conversion, miracles, and even sacredness among many others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStructured like a game and filled with riveting accounts of baseball's most historic moments, \u003ci\u003eBaseball as Road to God\u003c\/i\u003e will enthrall baseball fans whatever their religious beliefs may be.
