He's worn at the grip, cracked down the barrel - but he smiles like a bat who feels perfectly free. Because wood that's been used knows a secret or two: the best kind of old isn't scared of the new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a brand-new bat named Rally arrives in the dugout, nervous and gleaming, Coop takes him under his handle. Through stories of legendary players, tough slumps, and the wisdom only earned through real innings, Coop teaches Rally what the game is really about - teamwork, heart, and hustle. When Rally's big moment finally arrives in a championship game, he steps to the plate ready. First pitch came fast. He swung hard as he could. A loud crack rang out as the ball hit the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Broken Bat\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is a beautifully illustrated, rhyming picture book about mentorship, perseverance, and the quiet power of experience.
