Wilf loved playing ball with his older brother. Their family was too poor to buy good equipment so the boys played with floppy gloves and a baseball bat that gave splinters. On his way home from school, Wilf was surprised to see a beauty of a bat on the ball diamond in the farthest corner from the school. The temptation to take it created an unexpected dilemma. What would be the consequences? This true, heartwarming story shares the agony, the ecstasy, the battle for a clean conscience, and a story of redemption as a young boy learns a lifelong lesson in integrity.
