Book excerpt: "Baseball is everything in the Kickapoo Valley of southwestern Wisconsin in the late 1940s. With the aftermath of the Great Depression and World War II still hanging heavily over the sparsely populated town of MIllersville, parents make every effort to hold their families together and instill wholesome values in their children. Baseball is the only thing that keeps them united. Out of this seemingly bleak situation evolves a group of underdog kids that are destined to challenge the record books and immortalize high school baseball history in Wisconsin. There are no divisions in high school sports in the 1940s and early 1950s, so tiny MIllersville is forced to compete against schools with twenty times as many students in order to qualify for the state championship. After graduation five of their players are offered pro contracts. Readers will want to stand up and cheer as the learn the riveting story behind this extraordinary slice of American history that may never be repeated."--P. [4] of cover.
