Strike Three Your Dead Summary

The book I'm reading is called "Strike Three Your Dead". In the book we come to two boys name Mike. The Mikes are two best friends and they are both are called Mike. Its Mike and then they call the other Mike "Other Mike". In the story they both have a close friend named  Lenny and he loves baseball and claims that "He's the worst baseball player there ever was". There was a thing about Lenny and that was a baseball announcer. Lenny was great at announcing things and a baseball announcer would fit Lenny perfect.  In school there was a contest to see who can make a video about them selves announcing at Phillies game. Who ever made the best video got to actually go to a live baseball game and be an announcer at a Phillies game. Lenny knew that this was his time to shine.


My book would fall into the category Teen Fiction and sports. What I like about this book is that it has explicit details, you can infer about certain things in the book and I absolutely love that because you feel so smart because you inferred whats gonna happen or what happened. Ive actually never fallen to the category Teen Fiction and Sports. I usually read Realistic-Fiction but this time I wanted to try something new so I decided to read Teen Fiction and Sports. When I read the book 'Strike Three Your Dead" I wonder to my self "Why haven't I read this genre before like its good". Another thing I enjoy about this book is that I play sports to and when I read books that have sports in them I understand what they mean. For example if a book said "Who's on top of the line up?" Which means who's batting first? That phrase is usually meant for baseball/softball.
