Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-- Jaspersohn has once again scored with an informative and enjoyable book. The process that the Rawlings Sporting Goods Company uses to make and deliver gloves, baseballs, uniforms, and bats to major league players is told in this informative and fun-to-read book. The book is loaded with entertaining details and interviews with those who make, market, and use Rawlings gear (including Ozzie Smith, Vince Coleman, and Darryl Strawberry). Much of the material on bat construction is covered in Jan Arnow's Louisville Slugger: the Making of a Baseball Bat (Pantheon, 1984), and the chapter on the manufacture of baseballs is a little sketchy due to the trade secrets that Rawlings guards. Crisp black-and-white photographs fill nearly every page and couldn't be better at explaining the text. Young fans are sure to appreciate this behind-the-scenes look at an important aspect of the game. --Todd Morning, Schaumburg Township Public Library, IL
