No Easy Way: The Story of Ted Williams and the Last .400 Season - Fred Bowen and Chuck Pyle

Ten thousand fans showed up at the last double header of the season to see if Ted Williams was going to hit .400. It was Ted’s Boston Red Sox against the Philadelphia Athletics, and the Athletics’ pitcher was going to make sure that there was NO EASY WAY (Dutton, $16) that Ted was going to break the record. In the eighth inning of the first game, a smash down the right-field line brought his batting average to .404. What would happen in the second game? Fred Bowen’s exciting sports writing and Charles S. Pyle’s classic illustrations tell the story of a Red Sox legend whose career went down in baseball history. Ages 6-10. ESL
