Description
The overflow and raucous Shea Stadium crowd of 56,349 could sense it. The New York Mets' faithful were in a justified frenzy as they prepared to break open a tie game in the eighth inning against their playoff opponent, the St. Louis Cardinals.
Standing on the mound for the Cardinals was rookie right hander Josh Kinney. Kinney had made his major league debut in July of that year, and he was probably a complete unknown to most of the New York fans who were ready to erupt at any moment.
Josh and Josh: Small Towns and Big Leagues is a story about two young men, one from a small town in Pennsylvania and the other from an even smaller village in Illinois. They met at a small college in western Illinois (Quincy University enrollment 1,300) and led their college to unprecedented success on the baseball field.
Their storybook ascent to the big leagues is not just a tribute to them but to all those who helped make their dreams come true.
Josh Rabe and Josh Kinney are not defined by their time in professional baseball. Even the most ardent fan of the game would have difficulty recognizing both of their names in the year 2013. They are acknowledged by everyone they have come in touch with as genuine people who never let fame and recognition change their values.
Josh and Josh never forgot where they came from.
