Born To Play (Paperback)

Paperback. Malik Carter thought he knew where he belonged. Then everything changed.Brooklyn is home-the noise, the neighborhood, his friends, and the baseball field where Malik has spent nearly every summer he can remember. But when his mother loses her job, Malik suddenly finds himself leaving it all behind for Greenville, South Carolina.What waits for him there is an old family house, a forgotten baseball stadium called Promise Field, and a history Malik never knew belonged to him.His grandfather, Maurice Carter, once wore number seven for the Greenville Black Spinners and played the game alongside some of baseball's forgotten legends. Now the field where Maurice built his own story has been left to weeds, rust, and memories.As Malik begins uncovering his grandfather's past, he also finds something he never expected: a left-handed pitcher named Mac Wilder, a community willing to bring an old field back to life, and a baseball team that might just become family.Born to Play is a story about baseball, friendship, faith, family, and the generations that shape us. It's about discovering that sometimes losing the home you knew is the first step toward finding where you truly belong.Because some fields hold more than games.They hold stories.
