BOOK REVIEW
Columnist hits a home run with Free Baseball
originally posted 25 February 2006

Like extra innings or a game where every play is poetry, Sue Corbett's Free Baseball gives readers more than their money's worth. This charmer of a book for grades 4 through 7 tells the story of 11-year-old Felix Piloto, ace fielder for the Tigers and son of a legendary Cuban National Team player whom Felix has never met.

Felix's passion for baseball is equaled only by his passion to know more about his father. The problem is his overworked, overprotective mother isn't providing answers.

However, when Felix attends a local Florida League game, something happens that leads him deeper into baseball and furthers his quest—the visiting team mistakes Felix for their new batboy.
