Book Review
The Acerra family had sixteen children, including twelve ball-playing
boys. It was the 1930s, and many families had lots of kids. But only one
had enough to field a baseball team . . . with three on the bench! They
loved the game, but more important, they cared for and supported each
other and stayed together as a team. Nothing life threw their way--not
even a World War--could stop them.
