The Journal Of Biddy Owens By Walter Dean Myers June 5, 2010

Biddy Owens plays fielder for the Birmingham Black Barons. He also helps out the team when he is not playing by being the equipment manager. At that time Jackie Robinson played for the Dogers

Biddy lives with his parents. During Biddy’s lifetime they separated blacks from whites. Biddy traveled around the country with his team. When Biddy plays he does not do well with his batting and disappointed. But he wasn’t giving up on baseball. They lose games and the team isn’t so happy. Biddy knows they are not doing good either and doesn’t feel good about his playing. There games go to the northern states. If the team keeps losing, will Biddy stay with the team.

I recommend this book to people who like the history of baseball or just baseball books. This book is also pretty good if you wanted to know what went on back then. I liked the book!
