Better known as AROD, celebrity author Alex Rodriguez is one of the best baseball players in the game. This thinly disguised autobiographical look at an incident from AROD’s childhood stars a kid named Alex who’s playing terribly even though his team – the Caribes - is winning. Alex is determined to help them win the championship so he spends even more time practicing until he gets it right. You can’t go wrong with the book’s message about the payoff of hard work. Terrific art by Morrison showcases the lanky kids and the movements of the game with an expressive, active style.
