From School Library Journal
Grade 5 Up-- Three high-school players drafted into professional baseball's minor leagues experience frustration and success as they adapt to baseball on a highly competitive level. Second baseman David Green, pitcher Roberto Ramirez, and center fielder Glen Mitchell experience loneliness, insecurities, and lasting friendship as they strive and grow on competing teams. Excellent background information about life in the minor leagues is presented in this second title in the series. Baseball plays and terminology, as well as dialogue and description, are used throughout. Anyone interested in the sport and those wanting to know more about the minor leagues might find the book interesting. The ending--"all turns out rosy" with hard work and a positive attitude--seems a little unrealistic. The upper-elementary readability along with the high-interest level and older characters qualify this book as an "easy read" for high-school students. --Janice C. Hayes, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro

It wasn't surprising that this book started off with Nancy and her friends going somewhere to relax and have fun. Nor was it surprising that Nancy stumbled on to a mystery. What was surprising though, was how the auther manage to work a mystery into a Baseball Game. I still get amazed at how Nancy Drew figures out all these complicated problems and still saves the day. This time it's to help a star pitcher find his little girl and still win a game. I've been reading Nancy Drew for over 9 years now and I think that this one was one of the best!
