(3) 4-6 Scrappers series. Robbie helps organize a summer baseball team, which is sponsored by a salvage yard and coached by a retired minor leaguer. Each volume focuses on a different teammate as he or she struggles to solve personal problems such as jealousy and hotheadedness. The characterizations are a bit more subtle than in other sports series, and the baseball action is involving.
