Josh Stoshack loves baseball but can't seem to do anything but strike out.  Then one day while cleaning out his elderly neighbor's attic, he stumbles on the world's most valuable baseball card, a T-206 Honus Wagner.  Selling the card could make Joe rich, but the card has unexpected magical powers as well: it allows time travel so that Joe meets Honus Wagner, attends an historic World Series game in the early 1900s , and learns a few lessons about both baseball and living.  Read this book to learn how this card, and the man it honors, change Joe's life!  (Jeannie Bellavance bellavance@erols.com. for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards)
