The chronicles of the first female major league ballplayer continue! Not everyone is happy with Ruth, but she continues to believe in herself! She's the winningest pitcher in baseball at the All-Star break! And then she breaks her leg! OH NOES. Will she overcome this set-back!?

I really, really love these books.
