Spaldeen: The Magic of a Little Pink Ball (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798862529494)

Playing baseball for the New York Yankees, the most prestigious sports organization in the world, was the dream of many a small boy growing up in the post-war years. But for Joey, the simple act of being a batboy would have been his own dream come true.
Unhappy, funny-looking little Charlie had his nanny and all the treats that his "entrepreneur" father brought him from his travels. Judy had her New York City street life, spawned by the memories and regrets of the cruel parenting of her childhood and a husband who ended his life by leaping off the Verrazano Bridge. And Joey, poor Joey-he had nothing but a fantasy of one day being a Yankee batboy and a rubber ball-his Spaldeen-which meant little more than a childhood toy to other young boys, but to Joey, Charlie, and Judy, would come to represent so much more.
