The #1 Bestseller! Twelve-year-old Danny Walker may be the smallest kid on the basketball court -- but don't tell him that. Because no one plays with more heart or court sense. But none of that matters when he is cut from his local travel team, the very same team his father led to national prominence as a boy. Danny's father, still smarting from his own troubles, knows Danny isn't the only kid who was cut for the wrong reason, and together, this washed-up former player and a bunch of never-say-die kids prove that the heart simply cannot be measured. For fans of The Bad News Bears, Hoosiers, the Mighty Ducks, and Mike Lupica's other New York Times bestselling novels Heat, The Underdogs, and Million-Dollar Throw, here is a book that proves that when the game knocks you down, champions stand tall.

In the winter of 1948, the Detroit Tigers host an essay contest to find their next batboy. Already a dedicated Tigers fan, young Danny Dillman enters the contest, and to his delight he wins. From 1948 to 1950 he becomes clubhouse boy, ball boy, and batboy for visiting teams at Detroit's Briggs Stadium. In these glorious years, Dillman discovers the complexities of an apparently simple game. But even more fascinating, he becomes intimately involved with the game's best players. He listens as Ted Williams explains how he became baseball's greatest hitter, witnesses the breaking of the color barrier with the emergence of black players, and sees the Casey Stengel era begin with the New York Yankees. With vivid detail, Dillman shares the often unknown events of major league baseball. Players had nicknames unheard of to fans and had their own language to describe events on the field. Dillman also discovered that his heroes were just ordinary men-some nice, some not so nice, and some hilarious. Hey, Kid! A Tiger Batboy Remembers offers a slice of nostalgia from baseball's post-World War II years. Dillman provides insights into clubhouse life and offers vignettes of players, famous and lesser-known, from the forgotten age of baseball.

Joe Carrieri was the New York Yankees batboy from 1949-55, an extraordinary time in baseball history. During this era, Casey Stengel began his legendary career as Yankee manager (1949). Joe DiMaggio ended & Mickey Mantle began their major league careers (1951), & the New York Yankees established an unprecedented, still unsurpassed record of five consecutive World Series victories (1949-1953). In this wonderfully evocative book, capturing the color, flavor, & feel of a simpler time, Joe Carrieri offers a unique look at the era's greatest players. Only thirteen when he started with the Yankees, Mr. Carrieri was a sophomore in college when he turned in his pinstripes. His years with the Yankees were also the formative years of his life - the time when a boy becomes a man. From the baseball heroes of his youth, Carrieri began a quest to define the meaning of greatness & the measure of personal success as he saw it reflected in the lives, exploits, & words of the games's best players, coaches, & managers. In SEARCHING FOR HEROES, Joe Carrieri incorporates the lessons of his youth into a philosophy that lasts a lifetime & rediscovers something essential about the American pastime...that in our baseball heroes we find the best of ourselves & gather a glimpse of what we might be.
