Oops. A friend pointed out to me the other day that the book I have been raving about for the past year has been left off of this list. My apologies. You MUST read this book. It is the true story of a 17-year-old girl who pitched for Chattanooga’s minor league baseball team in an exhibition against the New York Yankees in 1931. And, oh, by the way – she struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. This book will delight boys and girls alike (as well as grown ups).
