Are You a Baseball Guy?

by Steve Physioc, Rex Hudler

Overview

Hey, are you a Baseball Guy?

Being a Baseball Guy is more than just learning a game. Baseball Guys come in all sizes and shapes and ages – and it’s not just for guys! It is learning that kindness, hard work, respect, positivity, and teamwork are qualities of players and winners – and these traits are important not only on the baseball diamond but wherever you are. In Are You a Baseball Guy? broadcasters Steve Physioc and Rex Hudler invite readers to join them on their drive to Kansas City Royals Kauffman Stadium meeting Baseball Guys along the way and at the Stadium. Hudler’s trademark “Hud-isms” will delight fans of the game as he and Phiz show young readers what it means to be a Baseball Guy. Rob Peters’ illustrations adds life and color to Phiz and Hud’s story from the road trip to The “K” to the shout of “Let’s play ball!”
