Teener Baseball (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615819266)

Gary Hillmann, the 16-year old, all-American teen, felt the pressure: the pressure of being a teenager; the pressure of trying to lead a historically successful, championship baseball team; the pressure of growing up in a small town and having all eyes on you; and now he felt the pressure trying to escape the small town, agricultural life to get a prep-school education in the city.The South Dakota Teener baseball program, sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), is a baseball league for 14 to 16 year old boys. The Reedville South Dakota Teeners have had a long history of achievement. In his final year of Teeners, Gary is expected to lead the team to continued success, that only meant one thing...winning another championship.The summer of 1989 is fraught with the angst of typical teen life of the late 1980s. Can Gary keep his sanity when dealing with baseball? The challenges of baseball can be crushing when you interact with the raging hormones of teenage boys, coaching changes, and strange bounces on and off the field. How can a teenage boy survive an unexpected summer romance? What about keeping a secret from his best friend and the rest of the community that he is planning on leaving everyone behind for an educational opportunity at a prestigious prep-school? The answers to all these questions await you in the novel TEENER BASEBALL.
