The Cleveland Indians are playing out of this world. Which is not surprising, [return]considering not one of them was born in this solar system. The San Francisco Giants, [return]on the other hand, are buried in last place. A man named Belteron wants to help them [return]in the worst way, and he's come a long way to do it. In The Aliens of Summer, we [return]discover that there's more than one way to play the game. By the end of the season, [return]baseball may never be the same![return][return]Baseball with a Science Fiction twist. Imagine baseball developing on a distant planet [return]exactly as it did here on Earth - what could be more natural?[return]This book drags just a bit at times, but is definitely worth staying with it. Mr. Ross [return]may not have played much baseball himself but you wouldn't know it from reading this [return]novel. It's got several very memorable characters and the baseball is very real and good.[return]As I was finishing it, during the game scenes near the end, I was totally enthralled. [return]I kept saying to my son, "This is GOOD!"[return]I heartily recommend it!

One of the best baseball books ever! It is a tragedy that it didn't get wider distribution.
