Mudball by Matt Tavares

Mudball is a great story for any kids that you know that are baseball nuts. It is also a great story for anyone who has been picked on for not being good enough or big enough to do something. This is the true story of Andy Oyler, a minor league baseball player, who in 1903 hit the world's shortest homerun ever. Its a fun story and the beautiful artwork of Matt Tavares captures the rainy day dreariness and confusion of the players perfectly.
