3.0
Historical fiction with baseball, guns, outlaws, racial prejudice, gold mines, humor, and even a little romance. Who could ask for more than that?
Jack is an orphan on his way to CA to find his uncle who has struck it rich in the gold mines and has founded a baseball team. On his way through the desert, Jack meets up with none other than Billy the Kid. They finish the trip together in time for a big baseball tournament with huge stakes just about to start.
A little bit too much with the baseball for me - but what can you expect from a book with a title like that? I liked how it tries to show that there are two sides to every story and not just make assumptions based on what you have heard.
