froydis's review against another edition

Kind of cute. I'm not that into baseball, but it was fun to see the old terminology from the turn of the 20th century. Ends on a definite cliffhanger, but I'm not sure I care enough about the people to read the next one. Cute for kids, though.

Originally known as Barnstormers when it was a hardcover-only series, now known as Sluggers in hardcover/paperback (Simon & Schuster). This has a similar feel to the Dan Gutman series, in that it combines baseball and magic, but aren't high-fantasy (no goblins, trolls, etc.). There are six in the series so far. My favorite aspect of this series is that a lot of baseball terminology and slang are used right in the prose, and then defined in the margins of the page. You get to read a great baseball adventure story and learn baseball vocab - what could be better than that?
