Bookroo's summary

Elected captain, Jimmie makes a selfish choice, appointing himself pitcher despite having a skilled teammate, Paul. His decision backfires, causing tension and risking the team's success. Can Jimmie mend the rift and convince Paul to return, or will his leadership falter under the weight of his mistakes? Discover the true meaning of teamwork and redemption in this gripping tale of ambition and humility.

From the publisher

When Jimmie is elected captain of his baseball team, his first decision is to appoint himself pitcher - much to his teammates’ dismay. They already have a good pitcher, Paul. When Jimmie’s pitches fail to find their mark, his teammates let it be known that they want Paul back on the mound. But even if Jimmie agrees, will Paul be willing to return?
