What's The Hit-Away Kid About
Publisher Summary
Left fielder Barry McGee enjoys being the Peach Street Mudders’ hit-away batter. In fact, he likes being a hero so much that he tends to bend the rules a little. His sister’s constant nagging about his cheating is forgotten when Barry meets up with Alec Frost, a pitcher for a rival team. Alec steals something from Barry’s family and then challenges him to win it back by hitting two homeruns off him in the unpcoming game. Now Barry wants to win more than ever. Will he play fair and risk losing his pride as well as the stolen object?
