(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Summers. Story by Mark Summers. Play-by-play narration describes a baseball match-up between Wild Bill and Hopalong Cassidy's cowboys and Long John Silver and Blackbeard's pirates. Needless to say, the game deteriorates into a trash-talking scuffle ("ya lily-livered seadog"; "ye bow-legged landlubber"), until Mom's call for dinner puts the game--and the boy narrator's imagination--on hold. Expertly rendered scratchboard illustrations act out the young sportscaster's story.
