Customer Reviews

A good story that should be read by baseball lovers.

This book was a good book for people who enjoy baseball. This book is about a young pitcher named Schoolboy Johnson who has a good fastball but no changeup. The veteran Speedy Mason is trying to help Schoolboy Johnson develop a changeup and to calm down his temper. Schoolboy's control also was not that great. In a game against the Giants he got beaned in the helmet and had to go to the hospital. In the hospital, he thought about everything that had happened. When he returned,he pitched well. Overall, this is a good book for people age:12 and up who enjoy baseball.
