| | | It's 1932 and hard times are everywhere. But life isn't all bad. America still loves baseball, and Babe Ruth is the star of the game. And two boys are about to discover that with some creativity, hard work, and a little help from the Babe himself, they can do their part to help out their own team!
Annotation:
In this picture book set during the Great Depression, a young boy goes to work selling papers in order to help support his family. The boy works hard, but business improves even more when he gets some help--from legendary slugger Babe Ruth. Color illustrations accompany the text.
