Miracle Mud: Lena Blackburne and the Secret Mud that Changed Baseball from Millbrook Press is the story of a man who made an unexpected and enduring contribution to the sport he loved. Lena Blackburne was a mediocre baseball player. Then he was a mediocre coach. Then he was just a passionate fan. And then he went on a fishing trip, where he made a discovery that eventually landed him in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Great book for young boys who love sports and aren't always interested in reading.

I just discovered Lerner Books and made my first purchase last week. I have a 5th grade dyslexic boy who is loving your boys. We'd love to add this to our collection.
