Stepping up to the plate usually feels great, but today, Johnny is terrified to swing the bat. The opposing pitcher, Roy, is a neighborhood bully who has made a very clear threat: if Johnny gets a hit off his pitching, Roy is going to beat him up after the game. Now Johnny is stuck in a terrible position. If he strikes out on purpose, he lets his entire team down and might even cost them the big game. But if he swings and connects with the ball, he will have to face Roy's fists as soon as the final inning ends. What is the right choice when both options seem awful? This classic sports story puts you right in the batter's box as Johnny figures out how to stand up for himself, support his teammates, and face his fears on and off the baseball diamond.
