The Batboy and the Unbreakable Record by Robert Skead

A heartwarming tale of baseball, friendship, and overcoming adversity in 1930s Cincinnati.

Twelve-year-old Richie Goodwin's life takes an unexpected turn when his family faces financial hardship, and he must find a job. He lands a dream position as batboy for the Cincinnati Reds, but his challenges are just beginning. Richie faces a bossy senior batboy, strict rules, and the daunting task of convincing his schoolmates that his new job is real.

After breaking a clubhouse rule, Richie is fired, and his reputation is on the line. Given a second chance, he learns the importance of following rules and witnesses baseball history as Johnny Vander Meer sets an unbreakable record. This story is perfect for middle grade readers interested in:

  • Baseball history
  • Friendship
  • Overcoming bullying
