Book Review: Free Baseball - Sue Corbett

Felix Piloto is here. He plays baseball and maybe someday he will even get into the major leagues but, for now, he's just a batboy. A batboy with awesome baseball skills...

The book 'Free Baseball'

tells about Felix, a kid who after

winning a contest to go see the

'Egrets'. A baseball team coming

for a game in Felix's town. Sadly

Felix's mother can't make it so

Felix is forced to go with the

babysitter. After stowing away on

the travel bus of the Away team

Felix soon gets himself into more

than he should be..

I liked how the book uses actual baseball terms and some Spanish terms and, it dosen't hurt that there's a glossary of baseball terms and Spanish words in the back of the book.

Some Other Related Books on the topic of baseball are 'Opening Day' by Jonathan Eig, which retells the story of Jackie Robinson by Matthew Silverman. Or 'The Baseball Economist' by J.C. Bradbury. Or you could even try 'Mets Essential' by Matthew Silverman.
