Katie Casey has a passion for baseball. In light of the second World War, there is a need for entertainment and sports. However, due to the war a majority of men have been shipped off and have left the men's professional baseball teams empty. The first all women's baseball league is started and although it starts off rocky it takes an unexpected turn in popularity.
The illustrations seem to target very young readers with bright colors, simple expressions, and stiff movements.
This story would compliments a lesson on the women's rights movement as well as appeal to students who are interested in sports.
