When the Detroit Tigers' star slugger Tony is blackmailed over his stolen trophy, young detectives Mike and Kate spring into action. With a tiger-shaped bag of signed baseballs as ransom, the stakes are high. Can they unravel the mystery and recover Tony's prized possession before it's too late? Dive into a thrilling mix of baseball excitement and detective work, where every clue counts and the clock is ticking. Join Mike and Kate as they navigate the twists and turns of this ballpark caper.

From the publisher

Batter up! Ballpark Mysteries(R) combine baseball action with exciting whodunits for early-chapter book readers! Someone is blackmailing the Detroit Tigers’ famous slugger, Tony! They’ve stolen his favorite trophy, and unless he fills a tiger-shaped bag with signed baseballs, he’ll never see the trophy again. Luckily, all-star sleuths Mike and Kate are ready to pounce on the case. Can they track down the thief in time to save Tony’s treasure? Ballpark Mysteries are the all-star matchup of fun sleuthing and baseball action, perfect for readers of Ron Roy’s A to Z Mysteries and Matt Christopher’s sports books, and younger siblings of Mike Lupica fans. Each Ballpark Mystery also features “Dugout Notes,” with more amazing baseball facts.
