This slight story stars Katie Casey, a cat who "was baseball mad. / She had the fever and she had it bad." When her team needs a boost, Katie begins the iconic song. Brightly colored illustrations of animal players and spectators fill the pages. A CD of three Carly Simon songs is included; an appended note tells about her family's connection to Jackie Robinson.
