40 pp. | Philomel | March, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-24661-6 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jim Burke. After finishing sixth grade, Honus Wagner, a homely, bowlegged boy, worked in the mines near Pittsburgh but devoted all his free time to his greatest love, baseball. Yolen uses a colloquial writing style and quiet humor to describe Honus's ascent from a humble beginning to being one of the greatest baseball players ever. Burke's uncluttered paintings capture the man's strength.
