Summary: Baseball Pal's Review
Review: I had read the book, "Baseball Pals", the author of the book is the famous sports writer, Matt Christopher. The main character in this story is Jimmie, in the story he was picked as the manager of his baseball team and he wanted to pitch, unfortunately so did his best friend Paul, but he wanted to pitch so Paul quit his team and went to another team. The plot was that Jimmie was being selfish and his friend quit the team, Jimmie also turned out not to be that good of a pitcher. The setting of the story is during present day, it takes place in a city, and the name was not named in the story.
The theme of this amazing story is baseball. It also explains to not be selfish, because you can sometimes even lose your best friend. I liked this story that is why I rate it 5 stars; it was a very thorough and well written story. The author had a good beginning, middle and end. The story was about my favorite theme of baseball; also it had a good plot and was an overall good story.

Review: Jimmie wants to be a pitcher but can't get the ball over the plate like Rudi Stine of the bad news bears who allowed 55 runs in 20 inings. I read it in my school libary and enjoyed scores like 22-2,18-8,14-4,11-2,16-6 and such. I am a boys club pitcher who struggles two.

Review: This book was good dont get me wrong but most of the parts were soooo boring i could have fallin asleep right in the middle of reading it. Some of the scenes where the firneds were mad at each other were kinda interesting. We then got back to being friends again i was glad for them, but it seemed like just out of now where they all of a sudden just starting being frineds again so that didnt make much sence to me. But over all i rated the book a middle 3 because there were some parts of the book that needed to be worked on but some of them were also good enough to read again. I am a big fan of sports book and playing these sports but this book also just didnt seem like a baseball book. It should have just been titled Pals
