Rocky loves to play baseball. He's the best catcher in his league-or at least he was, until an out-of-control runner broke his arm. Now his arm is healed, but he has a new problem. Every time a baserunner heads toward home, instead of tagging the runner out, Rocky jerks his arm out of the way. His friends tell him he just needs practice, but in the meantime, his team is losing games. Rocky doesn't want to quit, but he wonders if that's the only way to save his team. Black-and-white illustrations.
