The Girl Who Saved Baseball — Arelo Sederberg

The Girl Who Saved Baseball is humorous, yet occasionally bittersweet. Written from the viewpoint of an aging minor league baseball manager who finds new purpose in life by guiding four promising players. One is a girl who has a mission not only to make the major leagues, but also to "save" baseball from the stigma of have and have-not teams, runaway salaries, and the temptations of steroids. It rings with baseball lore, past and present, and takes the reader into the world of baseball-owners, players, managers, agents, talent scouts. Yet it never loses sight that the novel is about people, their struggles, needs and wants, disappointments, and their achievements.
