5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding and Heartwarming Collection,
By J. Mark Miller (Southbridge, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heroes of the Game: True Baseball Stories (Board book)
Too often these days, children see the game of baseball as being dominated by larger-than-life superstar characters and grandiose showboating. To be sure, that is a part of the game today, but in this book, Terry Egan and his co-authors make sure that the less obvious part of the game isn't overlooked. In a collection of true stories of courage, loyalty, and hard work, they go to bat for the underdogs of baseball. The people described here range from guys just doing the right thing (Dave Stewart, star pitcher who helped earthquake victims during the 1989 World Series, gets a chapter), to players who epitomized perserverance (the tale of an ever-trying career minor leaguer is particularly satisfying), to those who simply loved the game of baseball (Ernie Banks... "Let's play two"... enough said...). Through this book, a lot can be learned about what really counts- both on the field and in life.
