Hitting Lots of Homeruns in Life is Patricia Hackett's recollection of a life growing up with the most amazing father in the world, Majelon Manning, who served as a remarkable coach, model, and mentor to many. Manning remained a highly-respected figure in the community throughout his life, and when he passed away in 1988, he was honored in the fashion of a true dignitary by the thousands of people whom he had influenced over the years.

With a lively sense of humor, a heart full of compassion, an eagerness to help anyone in need, and as generous a spirit as a man could possibly have, Mr. Manning enjoyed imparting critical life principles into the lives of his own children as well as the children that he mentored in the community. In the 1970's, he organized baseball teams for youth in Houston and Huntsville, Texas, setting up special tournaments between the teams at huge, picnic-style events hosted at his own expense at a baseball stadium and facilities that he also built himself in Huntsville. Throughout the process of coaching the boys into great players, he also helped to shape them into men of great character who respected themselves, carried themselves with dignity, and conducted themselves with responsibility and integrity. As a result of the time and resources that he invested into the lives of others, Manning made a tremendous impact on many people in the city of Houston and Huntsville region.

Today, hundreds of people in Houston and surrounding areas are walking, living examples of Coach Majelon Manning's legacy. It is Hackett's hope that any male who reads this book, regardless of age, will be able to utilize her father's playbook to become an amazing dad, not just to his own children, but to many in the community who are lacking the love, attention, and mentoring and coaching that only a father can provide.
