God is Alive and Playing Third Base for the Appleton Papermakers does not have all the answers needed to make sense of the 20th century and beyond, but with tongue only partly in cheek the book claims to find some solace in a kid's game played by adults. "Grampa, how did you know it was God playing third base for the Appleton Papermakers?"
"Because He could perform miracles."
"What miracles could He perform?"
"He could hit Lowell Grosskopf's curveball."
"That doesn't sound like a miracle to me."
"That's because you never tried to hit Lowell Grosskopf's curveball."
