Summertime in Toms River, New Jersey, means two things: Tourists
and Little League champions.
The Toms River dynasty began in the 1990s, when its team made it
to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania,
three times in five years, finally bringing home a historic world
championship victory in 1998. But with each passing summer in Toms
River comes renewed pressure, as the latest collection of
twelve-year-old All-Stars strives to leave its mark on the town's
imposing baseball legacy.
In "Six Good Innings," acclaimed sportswriter Mark Kreidler
deftly illuminates the sometimes tense relationship between the
town and the team that carries its hopes and dreams. With empathy,
incisive reporting, and intimate access, Kreidler follows the most
recent juggernaut through one tumultuous All-Star season, weaving
the stories of the coaches, the parents, the fans, and the true
"boys of summer" into an unforgettable tableau.
