Set against a real, little-known baseball event, this heartfelt story blends sports history and Latine family life, showing how love and courage endured through wartime. A powerful historical fiction story where baseball, family, and World War II collide--exploring sacrifice, hope, and whether it's okay to find joy during uncertainty. Andy loves baseball and is a big fan of PeeWee Reese. But his favorite part of going to games is getting to spend time with Papi and Abuelo. When World War II starts, everything changes. Papi goes to war, and so does PeeWee; and now Andy's mom works long days, while Andy spends his days with Abuelo instead. Then the Dodgers, the Giants, and the Yankees announce that they will play in the same game! Andy wants to go, but the cost to attend is a war bond, and Andy doesn't have enough stamps to buy one. Andy has to make a choice: Will he sell his most prized possession, a baseball signed by PeeWee himself? Will the war bond help Papi and PeeWee come home sooner? Is it okay to feel a little bit of joy when Papi is away at war? Back matter includes information on the Tri-Cornered Baseball Game of 1944, segregation in baseball, and Latine contributions to World War II.
