Authorillustrator Matt Tavares hits the ball out of the park with a luminously illustrated tale about the joy of baseball, generational bonds, and the immutable power of dreams. Oliver Hall loves baseball. He loves the ritual of helping out in his grandfathers store, Halls Nostalgia, and he loves listening to Grandpa Halls innumerable baseball stories. But one day, Oliver makes a startling discovery. It seems his grandfather has kept one very special story a secret his own. With stunning blackandwhite and sepiatone illustrations and a heartwarming narrative, Matt Tavares portrays one mans lifelong love of the game, and the enduring legacy he passes on to his grandchild.
