A broken team. A battle for dignity. A summer of softball that united them against the odds. 

Marty’s fast-pitch softball team is far from typical. He and his unlikely teammates represent the Residence, a haven for chronic alcoholics—where forgotten men, written off by society, drown in their addictions. Yet they find something worth fighting for on a dusty Minnesota baseball diamond: their dignity. 

As the men square off in a rec league against polished corporate teams with everything going for them, Marty and his gang must battle their inner demons and society’s prejudices on an extraordinary path to redemption. The teammates form a fragile bond as they discover that their magical season offers more than just wins and losses—it’s a chance to reclaim their identities and find purpose in a world that has long forgotten them. 

Based on a true story, A Season on the Drink chronicles the raw, unforgettable story of redemption. Pat Harris masterfully weaves together themes of addiction, friendship, and resilience in this gripping narrative that transcends traditional sports literature. Through intimate portraits of the residents, the story reveals the transformative power of community and the unexpected joy found in life’s darkest corners. 

Can the spirit of sports triumph over the crushing weight of addiction? As the season unfolds, these men discover that sometimes the greatest victories happen far from the scoreboard, in the quiet moments between pitches where hope takes root and friendship blooms.

Dave Winfield, National Baseball Hall of Fame



The best baseball stories are deeply rooted in a love for the game while also casting an unflinching eye at the world beyond the foul poles. Count A Season on the Drink among those stories. Pat Harris masterfully blends wry humor with an honest, moving portrayal of addiction to create a memorable cast of characters who keep readers rooting for them even after the last pitch is thrown.

Jack Heffron, author of The Local Boys



A Season on the Drink is a powerful and compassionate portrait of the men living at the St. Anthony Residencefittingly named for the patron saint of lost things. While Harris offers an honest account of all they have loststability, relationships, health, and purposehe also reveals what remains: moments of connection, resilience, and the hope of being seen. At its heart, this is a story about our need to belong, even in the most overlooked and forgotten places.

Pat Plonski, Executive Director, Books for Africa



Finding your place in the world isnt always a fastball down the middle. A Season on the Drink captures the hopes and struggles we all faceon the field and off. Full of heart, humor, and hard truths, this one connects. I call em like I see em: its a hit.
