Books like Baseball rival by Tim Green
Josh, a promising pitcher for the Titans, dreams of a Cooperstown title that could secure a major endorsement and place him on the radar of big‑league scouts. His coach and father’s hopes weigh heavily on the team’s success. After a dirty play threatens to hurt Josh, he discovers suspicious activity at the tournament and confides in his friend Jaden. Jaden, preoccupied with stories about L.A. Comets star Mickey Mullen Jr., dismisses his concerns—all while she claims to be researching for a newspaper. Facing on‑field rivalry and off‑field intrigue, Josh must decide whether to fight for victory or expose foul play, all while balancing the stakes of friendship, sportsmanship, and family legacy.
