(2) 4-6 When his sister's attempt to secure a spot for him on the varsity baseball team backfires, Moose takes the blame. Meanwhile, a prison strike jeopardizes the warden's leadership. As both plot strands work toward their resolutions, Moose realizes that family is more important than baseball. This fourth Tale from Alcatraz (Al Capone Does My Shirts etc.) continues to effectively develop both the vivid historical setting and the tightly woven Alcatraz community.
