Bookroo's summary

Stosh, a young time traveler, faces a daunting challenge: save Ray Chapman, the only major league player killed by a pitch, and clear the pitcher's name. As he navigates 1920, meeting legends like Babe Ruth and Harry Houdini, Stosh must also find a way back to his own time. Can he alter history without getting trapped in the past forever?

From the publisher

What would you do if you had a chance to save someone’s life?When Stosh gets hit on the head with a baseball, he’s lucky to survive. Then he learns about another player who wasn’t so lucky–Ray Chapman, the only player in major league history to get hit by a pitched ball and die.Can Stosh use his time-traveling abilities to save Ray Chapman’s life, and the reputation of the pitcher who threw the ball? He’s going to try! Along the way, he’ll meet Babe Ruth, Tris Speaker, and even Harry Houdini. But when Stosh falls into a Houdini-level trap, the question isn’t just whether he can save Ray–but whether he can escape from 1920.
