A SEASON ON THE DRINK tells the remarkable true story of a ragtag softball team from the Saint Anthony Residence, one of the first wet houses in the country. Led by Marty Peterson, a former University of Minnesota baseball star turned chronic alcoholic, and a group of men battling addiction, the team defied expectations to achieve an undefeated season against corporate league opponents. Blending humor, heartbreak, and resilience, this powerful story celebrates unlikely triumphs and the surprising places where hope and redemption can be found.

Praise for A Season on the Drink
A Season on the Drink is a story of challenge, hope, and coming together as a team to do something extraordinary that can transform – even for a moment. For Marty and the Saint Anthony squad, and for all of us who lift bats to balls, the game carries them to a place of belonging. It’s a story of redemption, dignity and purpose. It's an excellent story that should be told.
