Hank's a teenager who loves baseball. His father pays too much attention to alcohol and too little to his son. When Hank becomes friends with a mysterious stranger named Chief Sunrise, both of their lives improve. They realize they share the same dream -- to play big league baseball. With almost no money but with street smarts and a little luck, the friends travel the country in pursuit of their goal. The author, Timothy Tocher, cleverly weaves the history of baseball and America into his tale. This is a story of friendship, hardship, and achievement. You don't have to be a baseball fan or "bug" to like this story. I loved it.

The book starts out harry and his father are running from the

police but harrys dad gets caught but harry doesnt. harry

jumped on to a train and got away. In the train harry met a guy

named chief sunrise. him and chief become good friends and try

to get up to New York, to play on the New York giants baseball

team. Chief shows what he can do to john Mcgraw and mcgraw

gives him a spot on the team. harry becomes full time bat boy

because he is to young to play on a professional team. I really

liked this book because they were always trying to catch mcgraw

but he was always movin. and there is a really big secret about

chief that you would never expect, put to find out you have to

read the book. if this book wasnt a good book i wouldnt be

writing a review. this book is the best book i have ever read.
