The Boy Who Saved Baseball Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Its good so far. "

" This is a book I read with my class. While they enjoyed the story, I think I was the one who took the most away from it. I made a lot of connections to story-elements and characters that my students weren't able to. The lesson here is its a great book, but I wouldn't read it again to my class. "

" In the little town of Dilliontown, California, baseball is about to be bulldozed for a luxury housing complex. Only Tom and his ragtag team can save the ball park if they can win the end-of-summer game against a rival town. Can Tom convince ex-major leaguer Dante DelGato to be their coach? Is the stranger and super pitcher Cruz de la Cruz the team's salvation? And even if Tom's team wins the game, will the adults follow through and stop the demolition? "

" When I read the Boy Who Saved Baseball by John H. Ritter I thought it was really good. It had a good story line and a good plot. I like how he added in about Dante Del Gato. The player that played there that went on to play professional baseball. I also loved how they got him to coach the team. Also when at the end, well I dont wanna spoil the ending. This is a great book and you should read this. And every kid out there that is trying to use this review for a book report you better not! Not really. But seriously I encourage everyone to read this book. It has a great story line and a great plot. John H. Ritter is my second favorite writter. "

" read it in 5th grade "

"

" Loved it. Great, fun read. Baseball, cowboys and computer games all in one. "

" This was a cute book. I chose it for my sixth grade intervention class because it's predominantly boys. They had mixed reviews. "

" Truth: I skipped pages to get to the end to find out what happens. Slow and repetitive plot, predictable ending. Not the best book I've ever read...don't even know if my boys would stick with it...they might need more action. "

" This book was about a baseball team in Dillontown, who saved their ballpark. I thought that the book was pretty good. I like Cruz de la Cruz and Dante Del Gato. They were both supastars...no not really but they were pro at baseball. It was a goooood book suggest this to any. "

" It was a good book but it was a little hard to read but you should read it "

" I thought this was a really good book. I got really into it because there was an intense baseball game. Since it was about a sport I really liked it. There was some Spanish in it but it was still good. "

" This was an excellent book. Well-written, great metaphor, and a good message. "

" possibly the best sports book i've ever read. (I don't read many sports books, but this one held my interests). "

" two thumbs up. Loved the ending. Tom was a good kid. "

" Heard good things about this book!! "

" Excellent book. My boys loved the book, as did I. It was a bit difficult for my boys to get into until about halfway through. There is a lot of plot set up in the beginning that they found boring. Overall, however, a great book for moving from easier to more difficult reading. "

" All you could ask from a juvenile baseball book...a normal boy, a mysterious hero, a new exciting stranger, and of course...baseball. My favorite part was that the climax of the book came, not at the end of the baseball game, but at another more important point. "

" DO NOT EVER READ, this is an extremely boring pointless book. I picked it up and began to read it, and then put it down. A few months later I picked it up and forced myself to read it. I thought the story line was pointless and boring and stupid. "

" This is a well written story in the same style as The City of Ember/People of Sparks. A great story for boys who love baseball and struggle with reading. "

" its a BEAST BOOK THAN JOHNNY HANGTIME!!!!! "

" This book was great! It even got me a little emotional at the end. "

" It's a goood book for people who like baseball and understand terms of it. "

" l thought it was an amazing book "

" It is an OK book through most of it then it heats up at the end. "

" I had to read this for a class in school, and i really did not like it one little bit. I could not relate to any of the characters. It didn't seem realistic. "

" This was nice easy summer read. The plot was very easy to figure out. "

" Great book! I learned a lot about baseball and was really pulling for the team in the big game at the end! It also had a good "baja" twist since it's set in southern Cali near the border of Mexico. "

" It was a pretty good book. The only thing was the plot was a little slow. All in all, the book captivated me to the end. "

" I think that it was a good book, even if I don't play baseball, I understood it and think that it was good, but if I were the author I would've made a different ending. "
