The Blue Lake Eagles were darn sick of losing. Their arch nemesis the Yankees beat them every year. But something special happened in Blue Lake when former MLB junk-baller, Arlo Pants, gifts the team a lucky baseball bat from 1961. Jimmy Pants and Flynn Finch are best friends and both are struggling to pitch without the natural talent of a strong arm. And both boys are learning the hardest lesson - confidence in themselves. This funny story will take you on an adventure through the baseball season with a middle school team destined for greatness. Quirky characters, uneasy situations and fast fun make this the best baseball story since "The Sandlot".
