Backstop Ace

by Dick Friendlich

Baseball was far different from today's game when this book was published in 1961. This is the story of an up-and-coming catcher named Ace Elwood and a younger, fireballing southpaw who keeps losing games because he won't throw the pitches his catcher called for.

Typical baseball story about a boy working his way up through the league.
