Sylvester Cod Myer is a 13-year-old baseball player for the Hooper Redbirds and isn't very talented. Every time he made an error or struck out he held his head down and felt sorry for himself. Then one day at the field he decides not to sign up and goes to the dugout and watches the original Redbirds practice on the field.
While he's there he meets a man by the name of Mr. Baruth and Sylvester was surprised by his appearance he looked just like George Herman also known as "Babe" Ruth.
While they are at the field Mr. Baruth becomes determined to get Sylvester on the Redbirds and make him the best player the Redbirds ever had. When Mr. Baruth and Sylvester practice Sylvester starts off rusty and misses the ball but then begins to hit the ball over the fence every single time. After they finished practicing Mr. Baruth tells Sylvester to ask his coach if it's not too late to sign up. Then the next day he asks his coach if it's too late to sign up and the coach notifies Sylvester that the roster is completely full.
Then Mr. Baruth comes up with an idea to get Sylvester on the team. The next day Sylvester goes to the field and asks one of the coaches if he could throw him a couple of pitches. Every pitch thrown, Sylvester hit over the fence for a homerun.
After deep thought and consideration the head coach offered him a position on the team. Sylvester accepted that Mr. Baruth's plan had worked and from then on Sylvester was hitting a homerun in every game. In every one of his at bats there were reporters asking him how does he hit a homerun every time? There's even someone offering to do a biography on Sylvester.
All the pressure is getting to Sylvester in the end, Sylvester does what he thinks is best for him. I enjoyed reading this book. I would recommend it to 5th -7th graders. I enjoyed this book because it teaches a lesson about not quitting. It teaches you to keep trying even you do play poorly, any time you play a sport poorly; I learned that it is important to just keep trying.

The Kid Who Only Hit Homers Matt Christopher Sports Classics edition by Matt Christopher Children eBooks Reviews
Age appropriate.
My 8 years old son lives this series... He says it is easy ti read...
Got this for my grandson, and he liked it. He had heard of the author. He liked the characters, the story and the fact that it related to real life. Kids have trouble relating in real life, and a good story to help them cope is always special. Highly recommended.
great for teaching baseball terms. My 10 year old was reading it without prompting and he (very unlike his sister) is not the type of kid to read for pleasure.
Purchased for my 6 year old grandson. My sons loved Matt Christopher books when they were young so I figured my grandson (who is sports crazy) would love them as well. He really enjoyed these books.
My son has struggled with reading for awhile, we were searching for something he would pay attention to and focus on. He loves this books and I'm so glad we bought them! He looks forward to his half hour reading time and actually can tenement the story! It's awesome. I like that it easy for him to read and understand. Great series for 7-12 year old boys!!
My 7 year old grandson loves to play baseball. He's in the first grade and had no problem reading this book. He loves these books written by Matt Christopher. The author is able to write to the reading level of young kids which keeps them interested in the book. My grandson did not have any problems retaining what he read and is very excited to read every night before bed. Highly recommend the books written by Matt Christopher.
