Fiddlehead
Description
All Nate ever wanted was to be a champion.
But stuck in the minor leagues with the lousy players, his most immediate concern was to not be killed by the bad pitching.
Then out of nowhere, he is called up and asked to play for the best team in the majors. The majors? With minimal baseball talent and a humiliating nickname, did he even have a chance to succeed playing with the best athletes in Wapper Falls? But it wouldn't take long for him to learn that his biggest challenges have nothing to do with how well he can hit a baseball.
Join Fiddlehead and his teammates on this no-holds barred journey through the zany minefield that is the world of youth sports featuring cheating coaches, obsessed parents, corrupt officials, neurotic volunteers, and all the organized chaos a small town can offer.
