Mike Lupica's The Batboy tells the story of Brian, who has an amazing summer job working as a batboy for the Detroit Tigers. He loves all things baseball--but baseball has been hard on his family. His parents divorced because his Dad, a former major-league player, put his career ahead of his family. Brian hopes that his new insider status will bring him closer to his Dad. Then his favorite player, Hank Bishop, returns to the Tigers after being suspended, and Brian thinks things just can't get any better. When Hank reveals his true colors, things get complicated. There's lots of edge-of-your-seat baseball action and true-to-life complications in this story by a sportswriting master. Click on the book cover at the left to find it in the SWAN catalog.
