I didn't expect him until night.”The girl who had uttered the first exclamation, and her mother whose surprise was manifested in the second, hurried to the door of the cottage, up the gravel walk to which a tall, athletic youth was then striding, swinging a heavy valise as though he enjoyed the weight of it.“Hello, Mother!” he called gaily. “How are you, Sis?” and a moment later Joe Matson was alternating his marks of affection between his mother and sister.“Well, it's good to be home again!” he went on, looking into the two faces which showed the pleasure felt in the presence of the lad. “Mighty good to be home again!”“And we're glad to have him; aren't we, Mother?”

Book excerpt: "[...] “Well, call it a business then, if you like,” said Joe good-naturedly. “Say it isn't a profession, though it is called one. As a business proposition, Mother, it's one of the biggest in the world to-day. The players make more money than lots of professional men, and they don't have to work half so hard—not that I mind that.” “Joe Matson! Do you mean to tell me a ball player—even one who tosses the ball for the other man to hit at—does he make more than—than a minister?” demanded his mother. “I should say so, Mother! Why, there are very few ministers who make as much as even an ordinary player in a minor league. And as for the major leaguers—why, they could equal half a dozen preachers. Mind, I'm not talking[...]".

This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a world different from the one we normally inhabit - a world of wide expanse of green, straight, white lines identifying the base paths, perfectly aligned bases, and home plate encircled by green grass and smooth dirt. That's the world of big league baseball today, and it was the same a century ago when literary heroes like Baseball Joe stalked through our imagination."No cellphones. No Google. Just pluck and wit." That's the way one modern critic describes these exciting tales from the early twentieth century, written for boys of the time. But really, they are universal tales of setting goals, overcoming adversity, and achieving what at some points seems impossible.Joe Matson is just an ordinary kid in a typical Midwestern town. He loves to play baseball and wants to make it onto the local nine, but his every step finds obstacles in the way. Joe wants to pitch, but the team has a star pitcher already who is reluctant - to say the least - to give up his position to this fresh-faced newcomer. But Joe perseveres, occasionally getting a lucky break, but more often having to rely on his own resources to reach his goal.As he reaches one goal, he then tackles the next one - making it to Yale and playing for the college team, then becoming a professional, later getting into the big leagues, and finally making it to the top of the baseball world.It is what they used to call "pluck."Joe has plenty of that as he gradually becomes Baseball Joe. In this volume, we find Baseball Joe as the star pitcher for the Giants, and his pitching venue is the biggest one of all: the World Series. Joe must overcome many hazards - some expected and some surprising - if he is going to lead his team to the championship his manager and his fans expect.You can follow Baseball Joe's progress as he ascends the heights of his baseball glory with exciting and surprising adventures along the way. First Inning Press is proud to introduce these new editions of Baseball Joe's exploits in a ten-volume set. Once you read one of them, you will want to read them all.For the boy in your life - maybe that boy is you - these are the perfect companions - simple tales that are accessible and easy-to-read. Give the gift of reading to the person you care about today.--The genius behind the Baseball Joe books was Edward Stratemeyer (1862-1930), a New Jersey born writer who was creative and prolific. As a teenager, Stratemeyer has his own printing press and understood the printing and distribution process intimately. He began writing stories then but didn't sell his first story to a magazine until he was 26. In 1899, Stratemeyer published the first of his Rover Boys series, which became widely popular. Stratemeyer did not invent the series formula, but he recognized its potential, and in 1905, he formed the Stratemeyer Literary Syndicate through which he hired journalists to write stories based on his ideas and outlines. He would pay his writers a flat fee and keep the copyright for himself. Thus was born series such as The Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, and Nancy Drew. Baseball Joe never reached the cultural status as these other series, possibly because of their specialized setting - the world of baseball - but they are nevertheless a pleasant and entertaining set that will continue to delight young readers.Stratemeyer lived a quiet life with this family in New Jersey and never sought publicity for himself. He also made a ton of money. After his death, Stratemeyer's work continued, and his legacy entertained millions of young readers even into the twenty-first century. We hope that legacy will continue well into this century.First Inning Press has done very little editing to the text, believing they should be preserved as they were a century ago. We have added illustrations, however, that we hope will enhance the reading experience of all, young and old, who open these pages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baseball Joe on the School Nine: Or Pitching for the Blue Banner "Look out now, fellows; here goes for a high one!" "Aw come off; you can't throw high without dislocating your arm, Peaches. Don't try it." "You get off the earth; I can so, Teeter. Watch me." "Let Joe Matson have a try. He can throw higher than you can. Peaches," and the lad who had last spoken grasped the arm of a tall boy, with a very fair complexion which had gained him the nickname of "Peaches and Cream," though it was usually shortened to "Peaches." There was a crowd of lads on the school grounds, throwing snowballs, when the offer of "Peaches" or Dick Lantfeld was made. "Don't let him throw, Teeter," begged George Bland, jokingly.
