LitPick Review
Ty Cutter, named after his overbearing father's favorite baseball player Ty Cobb, hates baseball. He wants nothing more than to quit his town's Pee Wee baseball team. His father, "The Professor," however, has a different idea. Ty is terrible at the game but his father (also the team's manager) makes him a starter and team captain for every game. This causes resentment among him and his teammates. Ty has to persevere to prove to his father, his teammates, and himself that he isn't worthless.
Opinion:
This is an endearing story that seems appropriate for a young audience. Jennings has a dry sense of humor and makes puns at the drop of a hat. The easy style makes this book an easy, lighthearted read. For the sports fan (or maybe a klutz who wants some proof that sports aren't the only thing important in life), this is a great book.
