(3) 4-6 This is a moving story of an eleven-year-old baseball star. When she overhears her father regret that her talent is wasted on a girl, Ruth must decide who she really is. As a writer from Sports Illustrated interviews her for an article, Ruth learns more about her mother--a firefighter killed during a fire--and she begins to accept what's involved in achieving her dream of playing in the major leagues.
