Publisher Description
Baseball, Boys, and Bad Words reveals the hilarity and magic of Little League baseball.
Often called “the funniest tale ever told,” this story will have you laughing until you cry, while warming your soul, reminding you of childhood and a simpler time.
In 1970, eleven-year-old Andy Andrews and a group of friends began a Little League season they would never forget. All the usual ingredients were there—well-worn gloves, freshly cut grass, and new uniforms. But the addition of a coach who was “new to the area” is what made this season truly unforgettable for young Andy.
Baseball fans and both current and former Little Leaguers will love the funny story, the age-old baseball wisdom quoted from some of the game’s greatest players, and the vintage baseball photography.

Cute and funny!
This book made my husband and I laugh so hard we cried! What a cute story with a good message! Loved it!
Good, but not worth $10
I did enjoy this story, and certainly laughed out loud at one point. But I wish that I had my $10 back.
This is an incredibly short story that I finished in 10-15 minutes. Don't get me wrong. It is a good story. But there is no compelling moment in it such as the ones in Traveler's Gift and The Noticer.
Frankly, the writer and publisher should be ashamed of such blatant robbery. I guess they believe that just because the author has written excellent (and full-length) books in the past, that fans like me will buy the book. They were right. This time. It won't happen again. I'm sad that Andy Andrews has gone down this path.
