Publisher's Synopsis
The 2009 Little League World Series champion Park View team from Chula Vista, California, smashed 104 round trippers during its electrifying twenty-six-game march to the flag, prompting the media to label them the Blue Bombers after the legendary New York Yankees' Bronx Bombers. But these kids were much more than the sum of their home runs. The Blue Bombers chronicles the journey of twelve kids who learned to love and respect the game. The story begins with the singular vision of Rod Roberto, the Park View league president, who started with a core group of three kids and built a powerhouse from there. By the time the team won the championship, it had built a formidable bond that carried its players through thick and thin. In the process, they discovered that teamwork, focus, friendship, and having fun are every bit as important as winning a ball game, making them champions for all the right reasons.
