“Baseball Joe Around the World; or, Pitching on a Grand Tour” is a children’s novel, included in the Baseball Joe series. The action follows the main character, a star baseball player named Joe Matson, from high school to college (at Yale University) and then to success as a professional. In this volume, Joe Matson fends off the vultures of the upstart "All-Star League" and draws closer to the heart and hand of the lovely Mabel Varley as he leads the Giants on a round-the-world baseball tour.
We are glad to present you the novel, written by the recognized master of children’s fiction. Dealt with the themes of friendship, commitment to winning and sports achievement, the story will not leave your children indifferent. Enjoy the reading.
