A great book for baseball fans

The Rookie Arrives is one of the best baseball books I've ever read. I would only recommend this book to "die-hard" baseball fans. The Rookie Arrives is about a rookie (Ted Bell) who is drafted out of High-school by the Kansas City Royals. He is brought to the team under the impression that he's going to be an everyday player. He gets upset because he finds out that Lou Mills, the Royals everyday third-baseman is going to play everday and Ted won't even get a chance to prove himself. At the All-star game, Lou Mills gets injured and this gives Ted Bell the opportunity to play everyday. His chance to prove himself and earn a spot on the major league roster is now.

This Book Is Great!

I got this book from the library, and couldent put it down. It's about high school star third basemen Ted Bell, who is drafted out of high school to play for the Royals. He has to wait to play, though because All-Star third basemen Lou Mills is already a solid basemen. Can he get a chance to show his stuff? Two words:READ THIS!!!!
