Introducing a book for sports-loving kids that doesn't just rehash the well-known and well-worn. Engagingly written and packed with humor, Who Got Game?! Baseball celebrates the unheralded, unrecognized, and forgotten -- but no less remarkable -- people and stories that are integral to the history of the game. Derrick D. Barnes, winner of the 2018 Ezra Jack Keats Book Award for outstanding new writer, is a star in the YA and children's literary world, with his picture book, Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut , winning four honors at the 2018 American Library Association's Youth Media Awards, including Coretta Scott King Author Honor and a Caldecott Honor. Now comes his first non-fiction book, where he shines a spotlight on 45 fascinating baseball records, personalities, and anecdotes that have slipped through the cracks of popular baseball lore. You've heard of Jackie Robinson, but how about John "Bud" Fowler, William Edward White, Moses Fleetwood Walker, and Weldy Walker -- four African Americans who integrated white teams decades earlier? There's Jackie Mitchell, the 17-year-old girl who struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in quick succession. Plus inglorious records, including the longest pro game ever played (8 hours and 25 minutes) and Hughie Jennings, known for being hit by the most pitches in a season (51). With its lively full-color illustrations, this is a fantastic gift for any kid who loves to play or watch baseball.
