What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

“A wonderful illustration of what a great game baseball is and how it brings families together. Brothers at Bat is a story any baseball fan will enjoy and one that we all should know.” –Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr.”A captivating story, impeccable layout, and glorious illustrations make this historical account an unqualified winner.” –New York Times Book ReviewThe amazing true story of the longest-running all-brother team in history! Full of action, drama, and excitement, the never-before-told tale of the Hall of Fame team is vividly brought to life in expert storytelling and stunning vintage-style art.The Acerra family had sixteen children, including twelve ball-playing boys. It was the 1930s, and many families had lots of kids. But only one had enough to field a baseball team . . . with three on the bench! They loved the game, but more important, they cared for and supported each other and stayed together as a team. Nothing life threw their way–not even a World War–could stop them.
