How Georgie Radbourn
Saved Baseball
It was winter in America when Georgie Radbourn was born.
It was always winter. Year after year, snow covered
the factories, fields, and houses. For this was a time
when baseball was illegal, and without baseball, spring
never came. Nobody knows exactly why - or if - Georgie
Radbourn set out to save baseball. Some folks say he
was born to be a hero, and some say he was just a kid
who happened to be brave. Either way, by bringing back
baseball, Georgie brought back a lot of things folks
needed. And they hadn't even noticed they needed them
- until they were taken away. The New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book
of the Year
