Bookroo's summary

The Champs finished last in the North American Mammal League, but this season will be different. On opening day a wombat wanders onto the field, and the team signs him up. There is just one problem: Wombat knows nothing about baseball and takes every bit of baseball lingo literally, with hilarious results. Can he still help the Champs win?

From the publisher

This was a brand-new baseball season, and the Champs were ready to go in their spiffy clean uniforms. Nevermind that the previous year they finished last in the North American Mammal League, this season would be different. But when a Wombat wanders onto the field opening game day, the Champs have no idea just how different the game was about to become.
