Baseball Crazy

by Martyn Godfrey

When Rob wins a contest to be the Blue Jays’ Special Batboy, he can’t believe his luck.
What could be more exciting than spring training in Florida with the Blue Jays? When Rob wins a contest to be the Jays’ Special Batboy, he can’t believe his luck. Meeting his heroes and being part of the team seem like a dream come true.
But when some of the players’ gloves mysteriously disappear from a locked cupboard, Rob’s dream becomes a nightmare. Team morale takes a nosedive, and Rob worries that some people even suspect him. If Rob doesn’t do some fast detective work, his favourite team could end up in a slump that could cost them the season.
