It's Game Time Somewhere

In It’s Game Time Somewhere, Tim Forbes decided to take a chance on that dream by walking away a from a perk-filled corporate job at the age of 40 to start a new career as perhaps the PGA Tour’s oldest-ever intern.

Tim was living the sports lover’s dream until he was stunned with a simple question: Had the native New Englander fallen out of love with sports? After ten years of being deeply entrenched in the day-to-day business of sports, Tim realized he wasn’t happy — he had become unsettlingly disconnected from his lifelong passion for sports. Something had to be done.

With only a notebook and a camera, Tim traveled to every corner of America and into Canada; to 100 different games covering 50 different sports. Sports he knew intimately, sports whose rules were a mystery; games he attended with 80,000 others, and games at which his arrival doubled the total attendance. Events where readers meet Ashton Eaton long before he won Olympic decathlon gold, Orioles rookie sensation Manny Machado while he was in Single-A ball, and Ryan Lochte when he was still just “that other swimmer.”

It’s Game Time Somewhere is a ball-chasing, sports-loving, and often irreverent roots journey. Each game is part of Tim’s daring decision and inspirational journey to reach into the heart of America, into the games that played out every day far beyond any television cameras, luxury boxes, or over-priced souvenir jersey stands. He risked a lifetime of stability to be there with them — but does Tim end up hitting the walk-off he dreamed about as a kid?
