Anne Fredrickson will sign copies of The Baseball Brothers
at Monkey See, Monkey Read during Winter Walk. Anne will be signing books from 7-8 pm. on Thursday, December 4.
The Baseball Brothers is a children’s book that tells the true story of twelve brothers who played baseball together in the 1920s. Through working together on the farm and playing together as a team, the brothers developed lifelong friendships. The book is a tribute to baseball and a celebration of family.
In the book, a child tells of her grandfather and his days on the baseball team. She tells of how the novelty drew fans from miles around on horseback and in old Model-Ts. The story recounts the brothers’ most famous feats, including a game-saving tackle at home plate and an unlikely victory over a tough opponent. But the most important part of the tale is the enduring friendship and familial bond that the brothers shared.
