Synopsis

With more than 2 million books sold, the Baseball Card Adventures bring the greatest players in history to life!

Joe Stoshack lives for baseball. He knows everything there is to know about the game--except how to play well. His specialty is striking out. Stosh feels like a real loser, and when he takes a low-paying job cleaning a bunch of junk out of his neighbor's attic, he feels even worse--until he comes across a little piece of cardboard that takes his breath away. His heart is racing. His brain is racing. He can hardly believe his eyes. Stosh has stumbled upon a T-206 Honus Wagner--the most valuable baseball card in the world! But he's about to find out that it's worth a lot more than money. Because it turns out Stosh has the incredible ability to travel through time using baseball cards--and now he's headed back to 1909, when Honus Wagner played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in a World Series for the record books.

With historical photos and back matter to separate the facts from the fiction, New York Times bestselling author Dan Gutman takes readers on a page-turning trip through baseball's past.

From the Author:

This is my favorite of all my books. I hope you'll like it.
This is my favorite book of all my books, I think partially because it was rejected by eight publishers before Avon published it. There will be two sequels--Jackie & Me and Babe & Me.
