Michelson, Richard Lipman Pike: America’s First Home Run King Illustrated by Zachary Pullen Sleeping Bear Press, 2011. $16.95 PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
Lip is a Jewish baseball player that is believed to have been one of the first baseball players to get paid to play. This story follows his life in quick succession from a young boy working in his dad’s store, to a young adult playing baseball and ends with him opening up his own store in his adult years. Lip’s story is unique and worth learning about; however, this telling of the story doesn’t have great transitions from the different time periods within his life making it feel incomplete and choppy.
