In this engaging biography, we meet a hero who follows rules of his own making and plays the best game in a league where only the ball was white. A formal bibliography at the end and a baseball-cardlike page of vital statistics make this book somewhat sophisticated for the youngest fans, but readers of all abilities can enjoy dynamic illustrations and a story that sounds as if it's being told to you over the backyard fence.
