The Only Game
Reviews
The friendship story is solid, kind and reassuring, and even if most of the young characters demonstrate unlikely maturity rather than depth, readers will only notice the qualities that are best in them.

"The Only Game is way more then a baseball novel. It's agreat story about fighting back after tragedy, and finding that place in your heart where courage comes from. This is absolutely Lupica's best book."
-Carl Hiaasen
"I like life and I love baseball. Mike Lupica has written a powerful book about both. The Only Game is a moving story about love, loss, guilt, and the power of trust and friendship that heals."
-Patricia MacLachlan
Certainly this book is going to find an audience among some real Little Leaguers. I wouldn't be surprised to see it hanging out of bat bags or sitting on the bleachers.
