Interesting book: first-person account of a group of local ex-punks, addicts, graying rockers, party boys, nihilists and not-so-garden-variety-ne'er-do-wells who get saved - by baseball. And it plays in Griffith Park.

Too bad the library doesn't have that book in stock. Maybe a Christmas present...
