How Georgie Radbourn Saved Baseball

Reissue (1994)
(4) K-3 When a failed ball player becomes a powerful political leader, he exacts his revenge by outlawing baseball and everything associated with it. But he is no match for Georgie Radbourn, a child with an amazing pitching arm and an inability to speak except in baseball clichés. The illustrations are rich and appropriately menacing, but the text has an unappealing, adult tone.
