A baseball game with a place in history

Jack and Annie’s trip to Brooklyn in 1947 puts baseball alongside a historical mystery. Assigned as batboys rather than players, they have a game’s nine innings to work out what makes this occasion significant and what Morgan wants them to learn. Jackie Robinson is part of the book’s historical focus, while the magical tree house and baseball caps bring the series’ fantasy elements into the visit. The short chapter-book format combines an adventure with an introduction to a specific moment in baseball history.

PLAY BALL! Jack and Annie aren't great baseball players . . . yet! Then Morgan the librarian gives them magical baseball caps that will make them experts. They just need to wear the caps to a special ballgame in Brooklyn, New York. The magic tree house whisks them back to 1947!

When they arrive, Jack and Annie find out that they will be batboys in the game--not ballplayers. What exactly does Morgan want them to learn? And what's so special about this game? They only have nine innings to find out!
