If I Were a New York Yankee

This book my mom had made for me because the main character in the book was me and the pictures in the book were me. It was about a boy who was a rookie and was brought up from the minors for the world series game. The pitcher on the other team was throwing hard as anything and no one on the yankees could get a hit off of him. It came down to the last hitter and the manager took him out and told me that I was going to be our only chance of winning this game. The boy was nervous but knew what he had to do. He got in the box and and missed the first two pitches. The next pitch came and he crushed it out of the park HOME RUN. I won the Yankees the world series. After the game I was signing autographs and celebrating. At the end of the book the owner came up to me and handed me a huge bag of money and said see you next year. I was one of the happiest ball players in the league.

This book was one of my favorites because I was the main character in the book. Also because it was baseball and I loved baseball, especially the Yankees. This book gave me hope to excell in baseball to get to the league. You could use books like this in your classrooms by getting pictures of the kids and putting them in these kinds of books. This would make the students excited to read a book with them in it.
