A Baseball Story in Nine Innings

By Deborah Hopkinson Pictures by Terry Widener
Alta Weiss has loved the game of baseball ever since she was a little girl. In the early 1900s, people thought baseball was only a game for boys, but Alta has a pitching arm that could rival anyone on the field. Determined to play the sport she loves, Alta refuses to let anyone tell her what she can or cannot do. She practices hard, perfects her pitch, and proves that she belongs on the pitcher's mound just as much as anyone else. This incredible true story follows Alta as she breaks the rules and changes the game forever. It is an inspiring look at an early sports pioneer who showed the world that with enough talent and dedication, anyone can step up to the plate and hit a home run.
