Mordecai Brown lost most of a finger in a farming accident. Ron Santo suffered from diabetes, Jim Abbott only had one arm, and Curtis Pride was deaf. What did these men have in common? They were all great baseball players. Learn how they overcame some of the greatest physical challenges to become one of baseball greats.
Inspirational and informative. The layout is well-done. The stories are easy to follow. The additional information in the back adds a lot to the text as well with the players’ stats and additional source information. Readers who like sports and/or inspirational stories will enjoy reading this book. EL (4-6), MS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
