Baseball ABC

This lively alphabet book introduces young listeners to baseball, pairing every letter with a player, position, piece of equipment, or moment from the game. Arthur, Edward, Karl, Norman, and their friends bring the diamond to life as they run the bases, swing the bat, pitch, catch fly-balls, and call out the score. From ball and bat to catcher and pitcher, the verses offer a charming introduction to the language of America’s favorite pastime.

The rhyming lines are simple, playful, and easy to follow, making the book well suited to children discovering both letters and baseball. Listeners will meet the quick pitcher, the busy short-stop, the watchful umpire, and the unfortunate player who cannot seem to catch a ball. With cheerful shouts, spirited competition, and a cast of memorable young players, this traditional primer celebrates the fun of a sunny game from A to Z.
