Corey Maduro should be thrilled about the Orioles going to the big Grand Slam Tournament. But whenever he thinks about playing, he feels sick. For one thing, he's in a monster hitting slump, which shows no signs of ending. Then there's Katelyn Moss, who thinks she deserves Corey's center field job and tries to outdo him at everything.
But Corey's biggest problem is his dad, who turns into a howling, wild-eyed maniac at his son's games. Joe Maduro ridicules the other team, gets in shouting matches with parents, and screams at the umps when calls don't go the Orioles' way. It's so embarrassing Corey wants to crawl into a hole-except Katelyn would probably dig a better hole and make him feel worse.
Squeeze Play is the fourth book in the bestselling Cal Ripkin's All-Stars series.

With Kevin Cowherd. The Orioles are excited about playing in a tournament, but center fielder Corey is worried about a hitting slump and about competitive teammate Katelyn. Even worse, his dad's angry words and aggressive actions in the bleachers are embarrassing and frightening. Just the right amount of play-by-play details will keep baseball fans engaged; the father-son subplot and flashes of humor give the story depth.(Copyright 2014 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
