This anniversary edition will introduce new readers to this modern-day classic.One day my dad looked out at the endless desert and decided then and there to build a baseball field.

So they build a playing field, and in this unlikely place, a baseball league is formed. Surrounded by barbed-wire fences and guards in towers, Shorty soon finds that he is playing not only to win, but to gain dignity and self-respect as well.
