Rocky Slugger
Larry Walker has a great batting average over his career. I was surprised to learn that he was a hockey player too. The book has a lot of fun facts. I really enjoyed reading about this Canadian Rocky.

Slugger is a real hit with second graders
I used this biographical book in conjunction with a baseball unit that I was teaching in my second grade classroom. Of course the initial appeal of the book to the students was the biography subject, Mark McGwire. The students were able to understand the text during a read aloud and enjoyed the photos. The book has an interesting layout and is a good read-aloud for 2nd or 3rd grade. As an educator I appreciated the book not only for the biographical information but also for the underlying message of the book. Mark McGwire touches on a variety of topics including losing your temper, needing to see a counselor, and trying your best even through times of adversity. I would recommend the book highly. Weeks after our baseball unit has concluded, Mark McGwire - Slugger is still a hot book in our reading center. The children are reading it over and over again.

I learned so much!
I loved the behind the scenes look at big time college basketball. I also learned a lot from Coach Drew about successful ways to raise children that have the potential to be college athletes. The book has a lot of value because of the messages in it. It's especially a great read for basketball fans.

Greatest Run Ever
They got to go the length of the court with 2.5 left.
Sykes, long pass, Bill Jenkins, Drew three for win...
Valpo wins!
Valpo wins!
Valpo wins!
Bryce Drew hits a three pointer and the Crusaders have moved into the second round!
Bryce Drew hit three pointer to win this game 70-69!
The kid performs another miracle!

Pure Joy and Excitement
A definate must have for those who love the underdog at tourney time. It's hard for me to devote continuous attention to a book, but I refused to put this one down, and that is an accomplishment. I could feel the excitement and goosebumps in the book's descriptions of "the shot" and stories of tourney time. It's a sense of relief that storeis like this do exist in a time when business seems to be overtaking the sports we love.
