(4) 4-6 With Paul Mantell. Baseball fans won't care that there's as much moralizing as sports writing in this fourth novel starring Jeter's younger self. This book centers on Derek's jeopardized friendship with teammate Dave due to Dave's parents' prejudice toward the less-well-off, interracial Jeter family. Stiff prose and superficial interpersonal relationships can't tarnish the appeal of Jeter's name on the cover.
