- "The Sweet Spot: A Treasury of Baseball Stories" is an original TV documentary anthology series featuring the human side of America's national pastime. It's the first TV series to capture the voices of those who weave the tapestry of baseball in America: coaches, players, bat boys, clubhouse attendants, umpires, fans, photographers, writers, artists, scorekeepers and more. The series also focuses on social issues like racism and gender bias, as well as examining the impact of art and literature on the game. War stories from former players and existing coaches add to a bold stew of inside stories that have never been told before.

But Hano is more than an accomplished writer. He's a social activist who has successfully battled racism, land developers, big corporations and the federal government. He met and talked with Babe Ruth, JFK and John Wayne. His story has flown under the radar...until now.
