This series of books by Dan Gutman are about twelve-year-old Joe Stoshack and the time where he travels back to 1932. Joe uses a $10,000 Babe Ruth card to travel back to October 1, 1932 to visit Game 3 of the World Series to see if the famed called shot was to Charlie Root, the pitcher, or the bleachers of Wrigly Field. According to the legend, Babe pointed to the bleachers and hit it there.

Joe Stoshack takes another trip back in time to see Babe Ruth, however, this time he is going with his dad. He and his dad are going to see the fabulous Babe hit his "called shot." His dad has the idea that he is going to catch "that" ball. Can he and his dad do it? Read Babe and Me to find out if they are successful.

I recommend this book to mystery and sports readers because it is a remarkable mystery book and a very good sports book!

This book is about a boy named Joe Stoshack, who is an ordinary baseball fan with a secret. Joe can travel through time with baseball cards. All Joe has to do is hold the card in his hand, and say that he wants to see a certain player. This time Joe travels back in time to see Babe Ruth. Joe arrives in the year that Babe plays in a World Series. This is also one of the years of the Great Depression. Joe goes back in time with his dad, and they get to spend time with the Babe. Joe and his Dad get thrown out of the World Series game. But, Joe and his Dad are still happy because they see the Babe. They even get his autograph and eat dinner with him.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes baseball, history, and adventure. On a scale of one to ten I would give this book a “ten.”
