Brothers at Bat by Audrey Vernick illustrated by Steven Salerno**

 RAR recently added this book to their "big family booklist".

The twelve Acerra brothers played baseball constantly. Eventually, they formed their own semi-professional baseball team coached by their father. What I especially appreciated about this biography is its portrayal of a supportive, cohesive family. The author interviewed a couple of the brothers while researching this story.

The biography spans from the 1920s-1997.

**Highly, highly recommend (especially children who love baseball and baseball history).

-Borrowed from the library.
