I'm with the guy below me. I read the comeback kid series. It is good. He's written Summer Ball, Travel Team, Miracle on 49th Street, Heat, The Big Field, the million dollar throw, the million dollar strike, the million dollar throw, the million dollar shot, and the Comeback Kids series, which consists of Two Minute Drill, Hot Hand, Long Shot, and Safe at Home. I've only read Miracle, Travel Team, and I'm about done w/ Summer Ball now, but I know people who have read others and there all great books.
