About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 2-4 Spring training is brought to life for children through brilliant color photographs accompanied by an explanatory text detailing the pre-season rituals of the Boston Red Sox. Unlike the regular baseball season, which is played in large stadiums often before huge crowds, spring training allows for the fans to get close to and interact with the players in a much more intimate setting. Horenstein captures the nuances of baseball in general and spring training in particular through both his words and photos. He succinctly points out that ``for some reason, food at the ballpark always tastes great,'' and ``the funny thing about spring training is that it takes place mostly in winter.'' While the author's writing is of interest, it's the photographs that really shine. Action shots of the players are coupled with photos of the crowds and the surroundings. Colors are clear and crisp. This title will be popular with young baseball fans who'll recognize some of today's current stars. A fresh and interesting approach to the game of baseball. Tom S.
