The Batboy by Mike Lupica

The Batboy by Mike Lupica is a good book about a kid who loves baseball and earns the spot as batboy on the Detroit Tigers.

Brian Dudley loves baseball and is a batboy for his hometown major league team the Detroit Tigers. His father was a major league pitcher and loved basbeball so much that he left him and his mom. Brian's favorite baseball player Hank Bishop is on the baseball team too but brian realizes that he is not who he thinks he is and is dissapointed. But you will have to read what happens to hank brian and his mom at the end of the story.

What I like about the book is that it is full of excitment and that you always want to keep reading. What i did'nt like is that he is lucky enough to be able to use the batting facility for the Tigers. He also is very sad for a kid who gets to play with the Tigers. This book is more suited for boys from 5th and up and i would recommend it to a friend.
