Tales from the SANDLOT #4 review

'The Pitcher Who Went Our of his Mind' is a great book. It is about a boy named Robert Newton who plays baseball along with his two best friends Manny and Lucy for the Sedona Red Rocks. They are playing in the Sedona Little League. During one of his games against the Vortex their opposing team, Robert is "in the zone" when Simon Foster steps up to bat and Rob is about to pitch. Suddenly, his astral body lifts from his physical body and rises above the pitchers mound but his body is still moving. They win the game. After the game Robert tells Manny and Lucy what happened to him and Lucy tells Robert to go see her mom in her mom's store. When he does she explains that he is having OOBEs out-of-body-expeirences. But when he forgets to pick up the supplies his Dad asked for he gets grounded. When he was up in his room he figures out how to control the OOBEs and he peels off of his phsical body and flies right out of his house like a ghost and flies to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The next day Manny tests him on his power and asks trivia questions about the hall of fame and he passes. Then on the final game of the Sedona Little League on the final inning Robert uses his OOBEs to take control of Simon's body and win them the game. I recomend this book to everyone. It is a great book. It tells how someone could be two places at once and I would definitly read it again.
