Heart of a Champion by Carl Deuker
Baseball keeps them together- but will loss break them apart? This moving story about friendship, grief, and the healing power of sports is a loving ode to the people that keep us batting a thousand, even when we lose our strength.
Seth and Jimmy both live and breathe baseball, but while Seth struggles to be good enough to make the varsity team, Jimmy, a natural, looks like he's on is way to becoming a major league star some day. Still, their shared passion for the game unites them in an life-long friendship- both on and off the field. But when Seth experiences an unthinkable loss, he's forced to find his own personal strength- and he'll need a friend to do it.
