Say-Hey and the Babe

Two connected stories about a group of boys growing up in New York and their love for stickball and baseball is complemented by text-boxes and sidebars that provide interesting tidbits and historical background. Heavy on nostalgia, the audience is limited to baseball fans who grew up in New York in the 1950's and possibly their grandchildren. And while all of the characters have Jewish names and the Yiddish word mensch is defined, the Jewish content is limited. For ages 7 - 10.
