Pike, Lipman

Illustrated by
Zachary Pullen.
In the mid-1800s, baseball in America was in its infancy when Lipman Pike, a Jewish boy from Brooklyn, began to play. Soon the boy's batting power and speed helped "Lip" become a sought-after homerun leader. The biographical story line is choppy at times; an appended author's note fills in some gaps. Caricaturish illustrations on sepia-colored pages capture the setting.
