The Big Field by Mike Lupica

If you like baseball, including lots of play-by-play action, you'll love this book. Hutch and Cody are best friends who are part of an American Legion baseball team hoping to make it to the state tournament. There is tension between Hutch and Darryl, another member of the team who is a natural at baseball. There is also tension between Hutch and his dad, a former pro baseball player who seems to have lost his love of the game.

Genre: realistic fiction (sports)

Topics: baseball, championship game, team work, rivalry, father/son conflict

Mrs. Beckwith's Rating: 3.5 of 5 (if I were a baseball fan, it'd probably be higher)
