I choose this book because I like sport and this book is sports related. The genre of this book is sports fiction genre. I have never read any of Mike Lupica other books but my friends told me that he is a good author and has some really good books related to sports. I can easily relate to this book because i like sports and baseball. I also choose this book because the cover page stood out to me. I think it is a great cover page of a boy throwing a baseball with all the buildings and subway behind it.
