Overview

With the nation in the grip of the Great Depression, a single mother in Cleveland, Ohio, creates a lasting monument to youth and community as American as apple pie.   At twelve years old, fiercely independent Josephine Morhard left her family’s Pennsylvania farm to start a new life. After surviving two bad marriages, Josephine decides to focus on a better future for her daughter and son. But Junior is a volatile boy of eight—until his mother comes up with a novel plan to build discipline and self-worth in her son. Out of a dream, an empty lot, and the enthusiasm of other neighborhood kids, Josephine establishes the first boys’ baseball league in America.   Beyond all expectations, the Cleveland Indians rally behind her project. Future baseball legends Bob Feller, Jeff Heath, and Roy Weatherly help hone the boys’ skills; renowned sports reporter Hal Lebovitz pitches in as an umpire; and they’re given free pass to play in historic League Park. As Josephine’s Little Indians graduate into the Junior American and Junior National Leagues, and finally a Little World Series, she instills in her boys strong values, good sportsmanship, and an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. Some of them, like Ray Lindquist and Jack Heinen, will even make it to the Minor Leagues. Not one of Mrs. Morhard’s boys would ever forget her.   “A treat to read.” —Akron Beacon Journal   “Beautifully tells the true story of how one mother kept her son out of trouble . . . and started the first boy’s baseball league.” —Delilah, Syndicated Radio Host
