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.

Scrappers series.
Each engaging volume features a different player on the Scrappers baseball team learning life lessons as they head into the championships. Jeremy risks a stolen base to prove his mettle; Tracy becomes tentative at second base after getting beaned by a ball; Thurlow is benched due to an injury. Baseball fans will be thrilled that most of the action takes place right on the playing field.
