MY STEVE SAX CONNECTION morphed from an autobiography to a tribute to my favorite baseball player to a customized form of Freudian psychotherapy for overcoming childhood abuse.


Background Information

Once upon a time, under the guidance of a prominent psychotherapist, I decided to write an autobiographical account of an introverted kid who was brutalized by his alcoholic father.  But there was always a yearning to write something nice about a scatter-armed Dodger who was infuriating Los Angeles with his wild throws to first base.  Ipso met facto and the result was a therapeutic process in which my perspective was altered by understanding life through the eyes of a guy who had a supportive father.  The book had to be worthy of him.  Altering psychoanalysis was the only way to accomplish it.  Steve Sax overcame his problems and was a significant contributor to the Dodger team that won the 1988 World Series with me sitting in the stands for a memorable first game.  The saga is detailed at my web site, www.mystevesaxconnection.com.
