Young Michael Steel loves to watch the New York Yankees
on TV—from his hospital bed. Michael has brain cancer. But
when Yankee second baseman Robinson Cano visits Michael in
the hospital, Michael embarks on an unexpected and wonderful
journey when he becomes a Yankee batboy for a day. It's his
baseball dream come true! When Michael's illness
makes him weak on the field, can he be strong enough to
fulfill his batboy duties and make his new teammates proud?
With a little help from Yankee greats Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth,
Joe DiMaggio, Roger Maris, and Mickey Mantle, Michael Steel
earns his nickname "The Boy of Steel" and learns a very
important lesson: Never stop fighting! Laura
Seeley's vibrant, action-packed illustrations illuminate Ray
Negron's touching and triumphant story, and children and
parents alike will root for Michael as they learn about
baseball, cancer, and a life lesson we all need to know.
With a foreword by Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark
Consuelos, The Boy of Steel will be a hit with your little
baseball fan.
