As a youngster growing up on a farm in rural Festina, Iowa, Huinker states, “We had a newspaper in the house and a farm journal, but outside of that we did not have any books available for leisure reading.” Moreover, the role of reading in his early life was primarily connected to his academic world where he advanced through the ranks, and eventually achieved a four-year degree at Loras College, while passionately pursuing a career in professional baseball.
