Sylvester loves to watch and play baseball, but he is not a good hitter and strikes out many times.  He meets a man named George Baruth who teaches him a few things about the game.  Suddenly Sylvester is hitting homeruns every time he's at bat.  He is very confused about how to handle his newfound fame. He is also wondering how long it will last. If you want to know the answers to these questions,  read this great book.
