Jorge loves the feel of the ball in his glove, the bat in his hand, and the game of baseball.

Okay, I have no idea what a few of the other reviewers are talking about. If you and your child enjoy baseball, there's no way you wouldn't consider this book a homerun.

Current New York Yankees catcher, Jorge Posada, relates how he became a switch hitter at his father's insistence when he was a Little Leaguer. Average fare with no real pazazz.

Puerto Rican native and current Yankee catcher Jorge Posada tells the story of his boyhood struggles to become a switch hitter and big league player. The story contains sudden scene changes that might confuse young readers and listeners.
