. I read this memorable book in 1965 when I was ten years old. I was a 5th grader at P.S. 92 in Brooklyn, NY. The story was about the friendship which grew between two teenage boys-one white, one black; teammates on a baseball team in the South (Texas, perhaps?). The black teen lived with his widowed father in a small, meticulously maintained home. Initially, the white teen is wary of his teammate, his attitude shaped by the segregationist attitudes of that time; the novel very movingly describes how mutual mistrust evolves into a soild friendship. I’d be grateful for any help you could give in helping me find this wonderful little book…
