Title: Thou Shall not Steal: Earning the Green Light from Your Coach to Steal Any Base, Any Time

A model of consistency, Dan understood the science and the art of stealing bases. In 1979, as an unknown he applied the techniques learned in this book to create one of the highest percentages in the College baseball history. In 1980 he had a bullseye on his back and pitchers and catchers attempted to pick him off or pitch out to minimize the speedster. However, he studied harder, worked harder and in the end was able to accomplish a feat no college baseball player has been able to duplicate. He stands alone as the only player to lead the nation two years in a row. 63 stolen bases out of 67 attempts in only 49 games is a 94% success rate and one of the highest in college baseball history.

How did he do it? In this short book Dan finally puts down on paper his secrets to how to steal second, steal third or steal home. He teaches you how to earn the right from your coach to steal any base any time. This book is also about life principles, something Dan is passionate about. He shares his faith In Jesus Christ as His Lord and talks about his passion for Christ and for baseball. Dan has a passion for the inner cities of the US while loving the country side. He is the author of the 21st Century Delusion and several books on the Book of Revelation. His desire is to pass down these secrets to the next generation and give them the opportunity to learn from the best in college baseball history. More importantly is his desire to hold base stealing clinics across the US in any city or state.

He can also coach speedsters for your team with individual sessions on base stealing and base running for your whole team or an entire league. He has conducted clinics with the Tampa Bay Rays pitching and hitting coaches for kids ages 9-19. Dan loves kids and is part of a Sports Outreach to the continental US and Puerto Rico, his native heritage.
