Marvin "Merv" Moore was one of the early trailblazers of American baseball coaches relocating overseas to teach the sport to European athletes. The native Texan played a vital role in elevating the game in Switzerland and transformed one of Europe's weakest national teams into a legitimate B-Pool contender. However, while he was achieving success on the baseball diamond, his personal life was in turmoil.

Burdened with the guilt of not preventing the suicide of his best friend at the age of 19, Merv turned to drugs and alcohol to escape these haunting feelings. He was the one whom his friend called late at night to ramble incoherently until he fell asleep on the phone. He was the one who helped Stanley prepare a last will and testament without even considering death. He was the only one who might have saved his best friend's life. But he dropped the ball.

World Baseball Guy is a collection of 12 real-life stories from places like Basel, Berlin, Zagreb, Vienna, Barcelona, Bandar Seri Begawan, Thimphu, and Kathmandu. Follow the wild adventures of Merv as he navigates living in foreign countries and pursuing a coaching career, all while battling his inner demons.

From playing street baseball with kids at a Slovenian housing project in Ljubljana to having a nightmarish picnic with gymnasts in Ukraine to almost provoking a public riot in Croatia — come along for an extraordinary worldwide journey of struggle and personal growth.

The United States has long defined itself as the world's most coveted destination, a nation built on the promise that the tired, the poor, and the ambitious will find here a life worth living. But a growing wave of Americans have made a different calculation. They are leaving, not for adventure or a gap year, but because the arithmetic of American life has stopped making sense.

In "Leaving America: Why a Record Number of Americans Are Renouncing Citizenship, Seeking Residency Abroad, and What It Means for the Country They're Leaving Behind," journalist and researcher Merv Moore takes an unflinching, deeply reported look at one of the most consequential and least discussed social shifts of our era.

Chapter by chapter, Moore profiles retirees in Mexico and Panama, young professionals in Berlin and Tokyo, entrepreneurs in Estonia and Medellín, Black Americans in Lisbon and Accra, and families who decided that another country would raise their children better than the one that still calls itself the greatest on earth.

"Leaving America" is not a celebration of departure or a condemnation of those who stay. It is a rigorous, compassionate, and often deeply moving investigation into what the emigration wave reveals about America in the 2020s.

The verdict of the departed is quiet, undeniable, and growing. This book asks what it will take for America to finally listen.
