BINGHAMTON, N.Y., Sept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Edwin Daub, a professor emeritus in Sports Studies and Physical Education and adjunct professor in the Sports Management department at SUNY Broome College who has been involved with baseball for decades, first as a player, longtime coach, manager/team owner, and for the past twenty-plus years as a professional baseball scout now dividing his time between beautiful upstate New York and the village of Blue Hill on the rocky coast of downeast Maine, where he lives with his wife, Mini, has completed his new book "The Last Season": a moving story brought to life with vivid details drawn from his own long career in baseball.

Rocky's relationship with Kara reveals yet another aspect of Rocky's' personality and inner struggles.
The novel "The Last Season" has been lived and experienced through the eyes of the author. Its insight and authenticity of professional baseball scouting will draw the reader in.
The author shares, "People often ask me what do I do, what is my profession? When I tell them that I am a professional baseball scout, their eyes light up, and many say, 'That must be fun!' Or they reply, 'That sounds very interesting!' The audience for this book will be anyone who loves baseball and searching for more knowledge and the inner workings of the game. More importantly, it is the story of an individual who is struggling to remain relevant and hold on to his purpose and identity as his career inevitability comes to an end. It is about baseball.
