When elderly Mr. Putter realizes that he and his cat Tabby are spending too much time resting, he decides to join a seniors baseball team with his friend Mrs. Teaberry and her dog Zeke. But Zeke's enthusiasm is too much for their team to handle; he keeps stealing the ball and charging off with it. Will Mr. Putter and Mrs. Teaberry be able to save the game and stay on the team, or will Zeke's puppy-dog antics relegate them to less-active pastimes?
This five-chapter beginning reader tells a cute story from a viewpoint that is rarely represented in children's books, and the humorous twist at the end should leave many children smiling.
