Details

The baseball field is a mythical place where legends are made. But it's also a place where a kid can escape the drudgery of an orphanage, where a deep romantic feud can find an outlet for closure, and where a boy can use perfume to confuse a pitcher and get the girl in the same game. As this collection of ten original stories shows, tales tall and small are born on the diamond every day. Features contributions from Jerry Spinelli, Frank Portman, and Maria Testa. Includes author "stats" after each story.
