It's hard to imagine someone's parents not approving of something as wholesome as baseball. Gotta find your own path and do what you love, I guess. I wonder if this book would appeal to people who aren't into baseball? If Mike Lupica is a good writer, I bet it would.
ReplyDeleteYes I think it would appeal to people who are not into sport or baseball, because he relates the story to everyday situations.
