Why does Joey Stoshack strike out all the time? Because he doesn't practice enough. Or he doesn't have the right equiptment for batting practice.

Why does Joey Stoshack feel a tingling feeling every time he touches a baseball card? Maybe the cards are special to him. Or the baseball cards could be magic.

How does Joey Stoshack figure out that Miss Young is not such a boring person? Miss Young liked baseball. And she had a lot of very very old baseball pictures that Joey thought was cool.

Why does Joey Stoshack keep on trying every time he strikes out? Joey Stoshack want's to be like all the other kids. And he want's to go to the majors so that he can pay for everything his family needs.

I think Joey strikes out because, he probably is just bad and maybe baseball isn't his sport.

My picture is about when Joey Stoshack finds a T-206 Honus Wagner and goes to the card shop to see how much the card costed. The man at the counter named Birdie tried to trick Joey into thinking it was a different card and tried to buy it for $10 but then Joey knew that it was a real Honus Wagner card so when he was about to leave Birdie said that he would buy it for $1,000 but Joey refused to but it and then left.



I pictured the baseball card store like that to. Nice drawing!!!!!!! ~Charlie Robbins

Ryan Duffey 5/11/09 Super Sumarizer 31-45

On pages 31-45 when Joey was asleep he woke upon the all-star ball player Honus Wagner standing in his very own room. Joey wasn't so sure that it really was really Honus Wagner so Joey asked him questions like what was Honus' batting average in 1900, what was Honus' birthday, and how many errors did Honus have in 1909 and Honus answered them all right. Honus came from the past in the year of 1909 and he had a baseball game in about two days. Joey then became tired and then fell to sleep.By the time Joey woke up Honus Wagner was gone.

May 11, 2009 Great summary, Ryan. Honus Wagner was a great baseball player, one of the greatest baseball player ever. Michael Walton

Nice job Ryan that is a great summary !!! I couldn't have done it better. ~Charlie

Why does Honus Wagner's teamates rip up his cards when Honus was about to give Joey the cards?

Why is Joey's bed messed up when he gets home?

Why does Joey not know what to do with the Honus Wagner card?

How does Joey figure out how to get from 1909 to his year?

May 22, 09 Honus' teamates ripped the cards because, they thought he was showing off and they didn't know how much the cards would be worth. He doesn't know what to do with the card because, he wants to keep the money but he knows that it wouldn't be fair to Miss Young. Matt Wade

My picture is about when Joey gets home from school and his mom wasn't home which was unusual to him and when he got up to his room his bed was all messed up. When he went downstairs he saw that there was a man outside that man was Birdie and he wanted the Honus Wagner card And they started to wrestle and then Amanda Young asked for what they were fighting about and then Joey gave her the card and she ripped the card up. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
