Description
Stogie Crane wants to play shortstop for the Mohawks, but a new boy from Japan is assigned to the position. Stogie tries not to become resentful of Sam Suzuki, but he can't help it. When Sam's glove is found ruined in Stogie's yard, it looks as though they will never be friends. This story of boys working out their differences on and off the field will satisfy young competitive-sports fans.
