Summary: 5 Stars
Michael, an unusually talented 12-year-old pitcher on his Little League team, has a lot going on at home that only his best friend Manny and the kindly lady upstairs in his apartment building, Mrs. C., know about. Born in Cuba Michael lost his mother to cancer when he was very young. His father brought Michael and his brother Carlos to America with the hope of seeing Michael pitch in the Little League World Series.
Now his father is dead too and he and Carlos are trying to keep it a secret until Carlos, just a few months away of his 18th birthday, can legally assume custody of Michael. But Child services are getting suspicious, and a rival coach and player have accused Michael of being older than he claims, causing him to be suspended until he can find proof but his birth certificate is back in Cuba.

Summary: 5 Stars
Do you really love baseball so much that you listen to it, watch it, and play it all day? Well, Michael Arroyo does. He lives in the Bronx right on the shadow of Yankee Stadium but dreams of actually going there and of his little league team, the Clippers, going to the finals in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. He is the best pitcher on his team but has other things to worry about. He lives with his older brother Carlos but doesn't live with any parents because they both passed away. But if anyone finds out, Michael and his brother will be separated. There are also some complaints about Michaels amazing pitching which takes him out of baseball for a while. Rival coaches don't believe that Michael is twelve years old. Michaels favorite baseball player is El Grande, a Cuban born player just like Michael. Michaels dream is to be able to pitch just as good as El Grande. Baseball is a game of heroes and champions who refuse to lose, and Michael is one of those heroes.
