Product Description:
Tom Gallagher is in a tight spot. The fate of the Dillontown team rests on the outcome of one baseball game, winner take all. If Tom's team loses, they lose their field too. But how can they possibly win? Just when everything seems hopeless, a mysterious boy named Cruz de la Cruz rides into town and claims to know the secret of hitting. Not to mention the secrets of Dante Del Gato, Dillontown's greatest hitter ever. Since he walked away from the game years ago, Del Gato hasn't spoken a word to anyone. But now he might be Tom's only hope for saving his hometown. From the award-winning author of Over the Wall and Choosing Up Sides comes this imaginative tale of one boy's struggle to preserve the spirit of the game he loves.

Can't think of a baseball novelist any better than Ritter. (Kinsella? Mark Harris?) "The Boy Who Saved Baseball" IMHO will someday be a classic. It says Ritter played college ball and you can tell he's been in pressure situations which he conveys in vivid authenic language. Always a fast moving story, always twists and turns, totally unpredictable, real characters, poetic words, the whole shot. Hats off! Glad to find out about this one.
I can also honestly recommend his other books. ... Read More

I am 11 years old and I play baseball. This was a great book I think because it had soooo many things that were going bad but then turned into great things. It made me feel...when you try your hardest, you will always win the game.

The Boy Who Saved Baseball is a good book for you if you love baseball. But my opinion is that some parts don't go with the topic of baseball. But most parts are fun like hitting contests.
This book is basically about this group of boys just having fun together playing baseball. They all were having fun until they figured out that baseball is dying. Teeball was killing baseball because it wasn't teaching the players how to really hit the ball and use their eyes to help their ability to ... Read More
