Baseball Joe in the Big League

Join Baseball Joe Matson on his thrilling journey as he strives to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional baseball pitcher. In this exciting fifth installment of the Baseball Joe series, Joe is drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals and faces both triumph and adversity during a challenging season. His ascent is complicated by unexpected events, starting with a desperate loan request from a former player and culminating in the dramatic kidnapping of our hero. Created by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, the Baseball Joe series features the talented yet anonymous writers behind the stories that captivated young readers in the early to mid-1900s. Howard R.
