[Shelley Alongi]

I read this book because it was for kids. I should say it is for kids. But I learned something and since I’m writing a novel about a pitcher I thought I would start with the very basics. It’s a very good little primmer as it says. And it does have some information and plays that I found useful. I’ll probably look at it again just to make sure I cover all my bases. :-) And the pictures are great too. :-)
