(2) K-3 From the early days of professional baseball comes the legend of the shortest home run in history. In 1903, Andy Oyler hits the ball, but no one sees where it goes. Andy crosses home plate just as the second baseman trips over a "rock," and Andy's team wins. This is a winning combination of satisfying story, muscular prose, and cinematic illustrations.
