First I'll start by saying that I'm a fan of baseball, the Orioles, and Cal. So maybe my review is a bit biased on that part. Mostly I just really enjoyed this book. It's geared towards younger readers. It balances the action and fun of play by play sports with real life situations that young kids experience such as hardships at home and interacting with the opposite sex. The story has a really good message to it about keeping going when life gets rough, but the message isn't too cheesy or over powering to take away from the readability of the book.
