The UnnaturalEvery once in a while an incredibly talented athlete comes on the scene in baseball that athlete would be able to run fast, throw hard, hit the ball a mile, etc. Books and movies are produced to tell the heros story. But what about the rest of us, the vast majority of us, who are less than talented, uncoordinated, near sighted? Do we get a hero we can relate to?

Every once in a while an incredibly talented athlete comes on the scene— in baseball that athlete would be able to run fast, throw hard, hit the ball a mile, etc. Books and movies are produced to tell the hero’s story. But what about the rest of us, the vast majority of us, who are less than talented, uncoordinated, near-sighted? Do we get a hero we can relate to?

The Unnatural tells the story of Hickey Plastow, who has absolutely no talent, but is determined to have a career playing professional baseball. Set against the backdrop of World War II, with little but an iron-willed desire to succeed, some luck, and a coach and family who believe in him, Hickey not only makes the grade, but performs beyond anyone's dreams, except his own....

This book is dedicated to every kid who's been told “you're not good enough.”

About the Author

Dave Phillips was born and raised in Doylestown, Pennsylvania in the post-war “Baby Boomer” generation. Faced with the almost certain possibility of being drafted after his college days at Villanova, he joined the US Navy as an ensign in 1974. Six years active duty, eighteen more in the reserves, he retired with the rank of Captain. As a civilian, Dave worked in manufacturing, software industry, and insurance. 

He turned his lifelong woodworking hobby into a custom cabinet business. Dave had been flunked on a writing assignment by a high school teacher who claimed his work was “too good” for a high school student—he must have cheated. He hadn't, but that bad experience led to a long-standing goal that “someday” he would see if he could really succeed as a writer. Dave is happily married, living in South Florida, and father of four terrific adult children. He's an avid golfer, woodworker and fisherman. Aside from writing and golf, Dave is active in his church and community association.

Great sunscreen!
Style: SPF 50
This sunscreen is a very affordable price, and it is very matte on the face, leaves almost no white cast, and isn't oily at all on my combination skin. It works great under makeup too. I use this daily after my moisturizer, and its super lightweight. Great affordable option for oily skinned people.

Don’t buy
Style: SPF 50
I love Hawaiian Tropic but this product is terrible. It smells good, but it makes you super white and is hard to rub in. Imagine rubbing glue between your fingers when it’s dry, that’s the kind of white residue left all over you. Wouldn’t buy this specific Hawaiian Tropic product again. Stick to the basic products they offer

Great but leaves a white film on brown skin
Style: SPF 50
I use this product when riding my bike in the sun. It works but does leave a white casts on my brown skin. It’s more noticeable when swearing. I prefer the Hawaiian Tropic in the cream bottle with purple writing. Smells great and no white casts. This product is cheap enough to use when not taking pictures or if the cast doesn’t bother you.

Best SPF chapstick
Scent: Island Coconut, Size: 0.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my new favorite chapstick. It’s a little thicker than I’ve used before but super smooth and not sticky!

I am obsessed with this lip product! It smells amazing and keeps my lips very moisturized. I have already repurchased it twice! Worth the price!
