Go The Distance: The Inspirational Story Of Tom Tunison, Thurman Munson And A Lifelong Quest For Baseball Immortality

Born with a rare hip disease that goes undiscovered until he is six years old, Tom Tunison faces years of bed rest, wheelchairs and crutches. Forced into making life-changing adjustments, the once active boy begins watching New York Yankees telecasts during his recovery, forming an unlikely bond with Yankees rookie catcher, Thurman Munson. Fascinated with Yankees history, its Hall of Fame players and baseball statistics, Tunison begins a lifelong commitment and study of Munson's career that is sidetracked suddenly with the untimely death of his hero- a tragedy that propels Tunison onto a course of action full of heart-breaking tragedy, heart-warming triumph and personal discovery. In a journey laced with incredible "coincidences," Tunison blends trust, faith and an inner-voice as his guide all the way to the hallowed grounds of Cooperstown.
