With more than 1.5 million books sold, the Baseball Card Adventures
series brings the greatest players in history to life.
Featuring black-and-white photographs and stats throughout, plus back
matter separating fact from fiction, Willie & Me is the perfect mix of
history and action for every young baseball fan.
Stosh thought he was finished traveling back in time. But then Ralph
Branca shows up in his room one night, begging for Stosh's help. In
1951, Branca pitched a ball to Bobby Thomson that would become the "Shot
Heard Round the World," a home run that won the National League pennant
for the New York Giants and changed the lives of Branca and Thomson
forever. Branca says the Giants were cheating, and he needs Stosh to use
his power with baseball cards to go back in time and set things right.
Stosh is determined to help, but he quickly learns that you can't change
just one little thing in history. If he erases the "Shot Heard Round the
World," he may forever alter the life of a young rookie named Willie
Mays. With wisdom from all the players he has helped before--plus the
surprise return of some familiar faces--Stosh uses his power to travel
in time using baseball cards one last time in a fabulous finale to the
adventure of a lifetime.
