Brothers at Bat: The True Story of an Amazing All-Brother Baseball Team

By Audrey Vernick. Illus. by Steven Salerno. Clarion/Houghton.

About

The Acerra family had twelve sons who all played baseball together from the time they were children, through World War II, and into adulthood. The story of their camaraderie and positive family attitude is as inspiring as their baseball records. Retro illustrations take readers back to the 1930s and 1940s.
