The Dodgers are playing in the World Series. In game 1, Roy Tucker, their star right fielder, is hit in the head and is hospitalized.
Will he be able to come back and play in any of the games?
As the Series rolls along, things start to look grim for the Dodgers. They're not getting any of the breaks.
Will they be able to mount a comeback with their backs against the wall?
John R. Tunis answers these questions and many more, each answer beautiful and flowing. Even though it was written in 1941, it isn't outdated. Tunis crafts a classic, a great read for anybody who likes baseball, or any other sport.
RATING 4 out of 5.

This book has nine innings, with each inning having a story in it. The book is about a family through nine generations. Each story is connected to baseball, but most have a meaning beyond baseball. It is a book I enjoyed and some of the stories I'll remember forever. This book is good for any age, and for baseball lovers and non-baseball lovers alike.
This book is one of the shining stars in the baseball genre, and a touching read. Alan Gratz nailed this novel, writing something the whole family can enjoy.
Rating: 5 out of 5.

This was a book of short stories, written by nine different authors. Some stories were very funny, especially John Ritter's (author of The Boy Who Saved Baseball, and Choosing Up Sides). If you like baseball, this is a great book, guaranteed to be a big hit.
Rating: 4 out of 5.
