Jade Sawyer is the ultimate tomboy. She likes baseball, hates wearing dresses, and always wears her hair in a ponytail (usually looped through the back of a baseball cap). All of her friends are boys. She spends her weekends playing baseball in the backyard and exploring the woods. Jade loathes all things girly. So when her teacher, Mrs. Thorn, asks her to befriend Maria Sanchez, the quiet girl who reads her Bible at lunch, she's embarrassed to do so. Maria is a girly girl, so Jade worries what people will think if they're friends. Instead, she starts writing Maria letters, and the two girls start a secret friendship. But when it comes time to invite people to her big thirteenth birthday party, Jade doesn't know what to do. Jade wants to invite Maria to the party, but she doesn't want her twin brother, Wade, and everyone else to make fun of her. Does she do the right thing, or does she continue to follow her pride? Find out in the first book of the series Homerun Hitters, No Pride Allowed. Julie Catron is a fifth grade teacher and lives in Stilwell, Oklahoma, with her husband, Sean, and stepsons, Wyatt, Matt, and Garrett.

Since Babe Ruth started drawing big crowds with his big bat in the 1920s, the home run has meant more to baseball than just about any other individual achievement.

From Ruth to Aaron to Bonds, Ken Rappoport examines the ten greatest sluggers to ever step up to the plate. The other players included are Lou Gehrig, Josh Gibson, Ken Griffey, Jr., Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Sadaharu Oh, and Alex Rodriguez.

The 500 Home Run Club tells the stories of the 15 men, prior to Mark McGwire, who hit more than 500 home runs -- out of the 14,000 major leaguers who played the game -- in their own words, talking about themselves and about each other. Over 180 former major leaguers, from Yogi Berra to Don Zimmer, were interviewed to get their first-person accounts of playing with and against baseball's 15 most dominant sluggers. Also, Hank Aaron describes the memorable moment of his 715th home run and the days leading up to it. Co-author Bob Allen is currently an agent for II of the living members of the 500 home run club and previously represented the late Mickey Mantle.

Who was the greatest home run hitter of all time? Babe Ruth? Henry Aaron? Willie Mays? Mickey Mantle? How about Negro Leaguers such as Josh Gibson or Norman Turkey Stearnes? Or minor league sluggers such as Joe Bauman who hit 72 four-baggers in 1954? And where does Sadaharu Oh and his 868 homers in the Japanese Central League fit in? Using statistical comparisons and accounting for the variances between players of different eras and levels of competition, this work provides the answer to the question of the greatest home run hitter of all time. The minors, Japanese, Negro and major leagues--both the deadball and lively ball eras--are fully analyzed. The home run hitting careers of the candidates in each league are first compared against other top sluggers in their own league, accounting for such differences as level of competition, size of ballparks, altitude in which the player played most of his games, night baseball and major league expansion. Players from different leagues are then compared to find the one player who stands out as the greatest home run hitter in the game's history. And the answer might surprise you.
