Book Description
Eleven-year-old JJ loves baseball, but ever since his dad died, he feels like he's fallen under an evil curse. As hard as he tries, his game is off, and then his mom takes him away from all his friends and moves him to a little town in Ohio where baseball is king. After striking out for the hundredth time, he's backed up against the playground fence and told by Calvin-the-Creep, and the rest of the Hotshots, that they'd rather have a dead frog on their team instead of him, and then things get worse.

When the Cubs Won It All
Author: George R. Matthews
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786454121
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
In the fall of 1908, no one could have guessed that the Chicago Cubs, a team that had dominated the National league three straight years, would for a century be shut out in its efforts to reclaim the world championship. Stars like Frank Chance, Ed Reulbach, and Three Finger Brown were still in their prime, and the Cubs had just emerged the winner in the most remarkable pennant race in history. In the decades since, the achievement of the 1908 Cubs has been overshadowed first by the events of the season, which included the Merkle Game and a playoff that pitted two all-time great pitchers against each other, and more recently by the calendar, as the centennial anniversary of the last Cubs championship closed in. This book rescues the 1908 team from its status as footnote to baseball history, following one of the all-time great clubs on a thrilling, season-long march toward the World Series.
