When Luis joins his new baseball team, the Manatees, things seem pretty hopeless at first.
Some of his new teammates—including "loud and obnoxious" home-run slugger Jimmie—are mean to him or to each other. His new coach doesn't tell the players everything to do like his old coach did. And some of the Manatees seem more interested in goofing off than in sportsmanship or working hard.
Then Luis is surprisingly named captain of his new team, and he finds himself with a whole new set of problems. How will he get this odd-ball group of teammates to work together?

Advance Praise
"A wonderful narrative for readers who love baseball that also offers valuable lessons to those who don’t." -- Kirkus
"Baseball Buddies is a largely enjoyable story about getting along with others and finding ways to have fun while pursuing larger goals." -- Blue Ink Reviews
“As a baseball announcer, I get to see big leaguers up close every day at work. As a dad, I see my own little leaguers at home all year ‘round. And I see a little of both when I think of Luis, Gary and the rest of the Manatees in Baseball Buddies. Whatever your level, it’s a perfect tale of building a team, working hard, trying your best and – of course – having fun!” — Scott Franzke, radio play-by-play voice of the Philadelphia Phillies
