Hit by Pitcher

By Harold M Sherman

"Hit by Pitcher" is a classic sports novel by Harold M. Sherman that captures the high-stakes world of schoolboy athletics during the early 20th century. The story follows the challenges faced by its young protagonist as he navigates the physical and mental hurdles of competitive baseball. When a traumatic incident on the mound threatens to derail his career and confidence, the narrative explores themes of resilience, sportsmanship, and the determination required to overcome fear.

Sherman, a master of the sports genre for younger readers, provides a vivid portrayal of the game, filled with authentic diamond action and the camaraderie of the dugout. This work stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the Great American Pastime and the moral lessons learned through play. Readers will find a compelling tale of personal growth and athletic triumph that remains a cornerstone of early sports literature.
