Bobby Jamison is worried that his older brother, Kirby, won’t be chosen to play first base for the All-Star team because he
isn’t a strong hitter. He practices with Kirby as much as he can, but it seems the Redbirds’ other first baseman, Tony Mandos,
is a better all-around player. Still, Bobby is convinced that with a little help, Kirby would come out as the obvious choice.
Then Bobby sees his chance to give Kirby the advantage over Tony … but will his conscience let him take it?
