The Desperado Who Stole Baseball
(2009)(The first book in the Cruz de la Cruz series)
A novel by John H Ritter
Dillontown was built upon a gold mine. Yet for the villagers, life is about something even more valuable: baseball. Home to the Dillontown Nine, they would give anything to join the ranks of professional ballplayers - even their gold. Yet to make it, they will need to defeat the world champion Chicago White Stockings - and their crooked owner, willing to wager anything for the mine, and willing to do anything to avoid losing. Fortunately, Dillontown is home to two boys who know a little something about winning. One is young Jack Dillon, nephew to Dillontown founder Long John Dillon. The other? A boy on the run, in need of a second chance: none other than Billy the Kid.
