A review by storywarden
Out Standing In My Field by Patrick Jennings

3.0

I read this book because the title cracked me up everytime I saw it. I assumed the book was very clever. The entire story takes place during one baseball game which is fine, but reading about Ty's constant clumsiness gets a little old.

Probably kids who like baseball will like this a lot, but it is slowly revealed that Ty's Dad (and team manager) is an alcoholic. This particular plot point seems forced and unnecessary.
