Stories to guide, motivate, and provide insights
Stories of sporting legends tend to provide inspiration, thrill, and insights to readers, especially younger impressionable minds tend to reap greater benefit from these tales. Baseball is a very popular sport in continental America, and it is almost the rite of passage of every young boy and girl to play ball in high school and/ or college. Then of course there are talented baseball players who turn pro and make a career out of the sport.
Cody Hansen’s Inspiring Baseball GOATs Stories: Amazing Facts and Trivia Questions - The Complete Baseball Gift Book for Kids and Teens, with Life Lessons and Mental Toughness, Courage, & Confidence is a 124-page two-part volume that chronicles this amazing sport and its greatest legends in detail. Starting off with a brief introduction in which Hansen explains the historical significance of Baseball to America. “Baseball has grown to be one of the most popular games on the planet,” gushes Hansen. Giving a brief historical account of the game he continues, “During the Great Depression, baseball served as a common source of hope and distraction for families all over the country. During the Civil Rights Movement, it became a stage upon which the country could grapple with some of its most deep-seated prejudices.”
Each chapter in this book is dedicated to the story of a great baseball legend including Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Lou Gehrig, among others. I do wish the editor/ author had done a better job in organizing the stories in this book. Part one has 11 chapter, each chronicling one famous baseball player; part two details the several famous teams including Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Cy Youngs, and many more.
The last section, invariably my favorite part of this book details the different challenges faced by the game itself such as advent of artificial turf, indoor stadia, and contains several unlikely stories of baseball legends. Overall this book is a great read for baseball lovers but it can also prove interesting and inspiring to everyone.

Great book of Goats
This book hits that sweet spot where sports hero worship turns into real life lessons kids can actually use.
I picked it up for my baseball-obsessed kid, expecting a fun trivia book, and it turned out to be much more than that. Each chapter zooms in on a different legend - Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Derek Jeter, Ken Griffey Jr. and others - and doesn’t just list stats. It walks kids through what those players had to fight through: rejection, failure, racism, pressure, and the grind of doing the right thing when no one is watching. The “GOAT facts,” trivia questions, and player takeaways at the end of each story make it easy for kids to remember what they read and actually think about what it means.
What I really like is that this isn’t just for kids who dream of playing in the majors. The lessons are bigger than baseball. Handling nerves. Bouncing back after a bad game. Being a good teammate. Staying focused when life doesn’t feel fair. The tone feels like a coach in the dugout giving a real talk - encouraging, honest, and practical - without talking down to them.
The layout is kid friendly too. Short sections, plenty of fun details, and interactive questions keep readers engaged, especially in that 8–14 range. It works just as well as a solo read for a sports-crazy kid, a bedtime chapter book, or something a coach or parent can use to spark team conversations about character.
If you’re looking for a sports book that entertains your young athlete and quietly builds confidence, discipline, and mental toughness at the same time, this one is an easy recommendation.
