(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. Soft oil paintings illustrate this story of a courageous young man who followed his dream to become a major-league baseball player. Sockalexis faced prejudice with dignity and determination; a successful face-off with a star pitcher validates Sockalexis as a ballplayer and a hero. An afterword relates his post-MLB life. Bib.
