Joe "Stosh" Stochack is back for another baseball-related time-traveling adventure. This time he meets Ted Williams at the behest of the FBI. The FBI's scheme is to have Stosh travel to 1941 to warn FDR of the attack on Pearl Harbor. After going back and attending an anti-Semitic America First rally, Stosh sees the folly of his mission. He does meet Williams, however, and experiences the legendary hitter's contradictory personality while receiving some great hitting tips from a true master. Another winner in a series that effectively blends fast-paced storytelling with plenty of baseball lore.
Horn Book (Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2012)The only reason to purchase this book would be to own the entire set. Stosh's supernatural ability to time-travel using vintage baseball cards has yielded amusing fantasies before, but now he's recruited by the FBI to return to 1941, make contact with Ted Williams, and prevent the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The uneasy coupling of baseball and world history just doesnt work.

With more than 1.5 million books sold, the Baseball Card Adventures series brings the greatest players in history to life!
Joe "Stosh" Stoshack has an incredible ability. He can travel through time using baseball cards. But the FBI has learned of his talent, and now they have a mission for him: go back to 1941 and warn President Roosevelt about the attack on Pearl Harbor!
Stosh is reluctant, until he finds out that his "ticket" to 1941 is a Ted Williams card. Williams was one of the greatest hitters of all time, even though he lost years of his career to serve in the Marines. How many more home runs would the Splendid Splinter have hit if he had those years back? What if Stosh can prevent the attack on Pearl Harbor and convince Williams not to serve in the military?
With black-and-white photographs and stats throughout, plus back matter separating fact from fiction, Ted & Me is the perfect mix of history and action for every young baseball fan.
