Great book for any baseball fan!
I bought Baseball Stories for my grandson who is on a competitive/travel 11U team. First, I downloaded the Kindle sample to make sure it was his reading level and might interest him. Good for probably 10+, even adults. It's a book of vignettes, true stories, about baseball players, some more well-known and many lesser known, and their achievements. As a girl, I grew up in the 60s listening to the Dodgers on AM radio. Many of the players in the book are everyday names to me; from the 60s to the 90s is when I listened to pro baseball. And many more players are more recent. These stories are inspiring! I found myself reading my grandson's copy, so finally got my own! I'm proud to have this book in my library! If you have a tween or teen, or yourself, who enjoys baseball, this book is a must-have in your library.

Bought this for a kids Halloween party and it was a big hit! Comes with a large amount of balls so you don't have to hunt them down after each throw

Home Run ReadโMy 7-Year-Oldโs New Best Friend! โพ๐
If books could have batting averages, this one would be hitting 1.000! My 7-year-old lives and breathes baseball, and this collection of true stories has become his new best friend. He dives into it like a shortstop going for a grounderโtotally locked in. The inspiring tales keep him engaged, and I love that heโs reading and learning life lessons from the game he loves. A must-have for any young baseball fan who dreams of hitting it out of the park! ๐โพ๐

Straightforward and Well-Written Stories about MLB Players
This is a great book for any young baseball fan aged 8-12 who enjoys reading (or who you want to encourage to read). A basic understanding of baseball statistics will help understand the achievements that are often referenced in these stories, so perhaps a glossary or introduction in the next edition could be added for those that don't already know the terminology. Otherwise the stories are interesting, well written, and appropriate for young readers.
