Baseball Bob and the One-Armed Wonder - Paperback

Baseball Bob is a thirteen-year-old boy who pitches for his neighborhood baseball team--the Redbirds. He also manages the team when Coach Tommy snoozes in the dugout or forgets to come to the game. One day, a player is missing for an important game. Mr. Umpire tells Bob that if he doesn't hand in his lineup card in five minutes, the Redbirds will lose the game. A young boy in the stands offers his services to Bob. But the boy has only one arm! How can he possibly play baseball?

The book is based on Peter Gray's real-life story. Gray played baseball although he had only one arm, making it to the Major Leagues with the St. Louis Browns.

The kids learn that you can achieve your dreams even with a severe physical disability.
