Brothers at Bat

The Acerra family had sixteen children, including twelve ball-playing boys. It was the

1930s, and many families had lots of kids. But only one had enough to field a baseball

team . . . with three on the bench The Acerras were the longest-playing all-brother

team in baseball history. They loved the game, but more important, they cared for

and supported each other and stayed together as a team. Nothing life threw their way

could stop them.

Full of action, drama, and excitement, this never-before-told true story is vividly

brought to life by Audrey Vernick's expert storytelling and Steven Salerno's stunning

vintage-style art.
