Choice Read Post

Unfortunately, my choice book has gone missing! If anyone has seen a copy of The Boy Who Saved Baseball in Miss. Barnicle's room, please let me know. On top of that, I don't think I have my name in the book, so if it is located, no one will know that it is mine. Ugh! Oh well. The story was getting very interesting. Tom Gallagher, the book's main character, and his baseball team are practicing for The Big Game. This game will determine the fate of their home, Dillontown. If Tom's team wins, then the proposed housing development plan for the area will be thrown away. If the team loses, then the rolling hills will be steamrolled out and will be replaced with houses, golf courses, and new businesses. A majority of the townspeople are against the development plan, but the mayor made preparations anyway. The fate of the town rests on the shoulders of the baseball players. The team was surprised when a retired professional baseball player, Dante Del Gato, came out of retirement to help coach the team to victory. Del Gato has been working with the players for a few days, showing them everything he knows that could help them win the Big Game.
