Chip still is a winner

Things don't change much in 50 years. This book still works with kids and adults. I like the new updates-just enough to make it contemporary. It would be a great gift for Little League friends and families.

Another Great Chip Hilton Story!

Strike Three! offers great baseball action but, more importantly, it's a story about friendship, courage, and learning to extend our hands to others. Chip bridges the gap between the South and the West sides of Valley Falls with courage, faith, and friendship.

Great Book! Read the real ones!

Strike Three was not published in 1990--but nearly 50 years ago.Great story of values and friendships.Buy the real Chip Hilton books.
