The Grizzlies are a player short, so Amelia Bedelia fills in. She has never played baseball, and she follows every instruction exactly as it is worded. When her team yells at her to steal second base, she pulls the base out of the ground and runs off with it.
Her teammates spend the game explaining the rules, and she keeps finding new ways to misunderstand them. The fun is in the wordplay, which early readers can catch on their own. Wallace Tripp drew every puzzled face in the dugout.
