When Jimmie is elected captain of his baseball team, his first decision is to appoint himself pitcher-- much to his teammates' dismay. They already have a good pitcher, Paul.

Review by Horn Book Review

[Lacrosse; other by=text by]Overcoming obstacles, dealing with family issues, and learning about teamwork are common themes in these popular, formulaic sports-centered titles. Characters include too-small-for-quarterback Boots (Tackle), new-to-the-baseball-team Chico (Flyhawk), and embarrassed-about-his-overweight-lacrosse-playing brother Garry (Face-Off). These editions are sturdily bound and feature large type. [Review covers these New Matt Christopher Sports Library titles: Baseball Flyhawk, Lacrosse Face-Off, Power Pitcher, Shoot for the Hoop, The Team That Couldn't Lose, and Tough to Tackle.] Copyright 2010 of The Horn Book, Inc.
