Cal Ripken, Jr.'s All-Stars: Super-sized Slugger

Cody Parker is the new kid in school. Heâ€™s overweight, scared and hates his new life in Dullsville, Maryland, aka Baltimore, where heâ€™s a targetÂ–okay, a big targetÂ–for brutal teasing. But he loves baseball. And despite his size, he plays third base like a dream. Too bad heâ€™s competing for the starting job on the Orioles of the Dulaney Babe Ruth League against budding hoodlum Dante Rizzo, who vows to squeeze Codyâ€™s head like a grape if he beats him out. Life gets even more complicated when Codyâ€™s school, York Middle, is beset by a rash of mysterious thefts, a crime wave that threatens to sideline CodyÂ–and ruin a golden season for the Orioles. WillÂ Cody ever succeed in getting people to see him for who he really is?
