Is this not the greatest photoshop in the history of psing?

Allow me to lump myself in with the crowd that has never heard of or seen these books.

What a great book. The title is a tad misleading though because at the end he hits a double.

NO!

 

How dare you. The guy who told him how to hit homers, who only the he saw, was named George Baruth (omg, George "Babe" Ruth?!?!) and he left town at the end of the book. That's when he stopped hitting homers.

Hahaha, I remember that part. Then he wrote the sequel where Eddie Cicotte of the Black Sox shows up and teaches him how to be a jackass.

Oh yeah. "The Boy with the Shattered Knees."

 

That one definitely scared me away from gambling on sports.

I was aware of these books growing up, and I think I read one of them. Even as a rabid lifelong baseball fan, I was less than enthralled. I've been able to spot lame clichés since kindergarten. And the cover illustrations have always really bothered me both the old and new versions.

 

I was always much more a fan of Roald Dahl, R.L. Stine, the Choose-your-own-Adventure series, and anything non-fiction about baseball. When I was 10 I got the 1993 Baseball Almanac and wore it out promptly.

It's important for 6 year olds to have good bs meters. Otherwise they might have fun.

Choose-your-own-Adventure series

The best.

Now there's a great series. In fact, the name Banedon comes from a similar series of books...Lone Wolf.
