A shortstop, he loves the game and longs to realize his dream of making the towns all-star team, and then winning enough games to advance to the states world series. However to reach this goal he must overcome his own anxiety that blocks his talent from shining through on the field.</p><p>Internal concerns are not the only obstacles in Joeys path. He also has to deal with Mr. K, the coach of his team for the past two years. Mr. K uses sarcasm and intimidation with his players, as well as favoring his own son over Joey and his teammates. Added to the mix is Joeys new neighbor and friend, twelve year old Mindi. A saxophone-playing member of Mensa, she is also a pitcher in the summer league who mows down opposing hitters with a blazing fastball and pinpoint control.</p><p>Joey decides to play, with events during early season contests testing his will to continue. Eventually a tumultuous game involving adults who cant seem to grow up leads to changes in the league. A benevolent new coach arrives in town, and things begin to turn around for Joey and his underdog teammates. Eventually joining forces with Mindi on the all-star team, Joey moves closer to fulfilling his dream. Advancing to the states world series means finding innovative ways to win pressure packed games, which leads to Joey confronting his fears on the field. Ultimately he learns more about winning, losing, and the exciting game that is baseball.</p>...1803963The Perfect Game4141https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-perfect-game-8/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/839975/8a5dc6f4-e112-42aa-9a22-578e3f519942.jpg?v=638528744436130000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20129781301938216_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_<p>Twelve year old Joey Coltasanti is ambivalent about playing baseball in his last year in the towns summer league.
