Brooklyn was the meeting place for Larry, run-away from a domineering mother in New England, and Po, refugee from her father's home after his death. But the love story bats second to the rivalries between the Brooklyn ball club and their staid neighbors in manhattan, and the final cessation of hostilities when Brooklyn sets about earning the respect of the rest of the baseball-mad country. Original sprightly story to tempt the fan." (from Kirkus Reviews, June 8, 1950) Possibly one of the first books written about baseball by a woman.
