Second Chance: A Baseball Buddies Story

The Manatees are finally having fun this baseball season under new captain Luis. Embracing teamwork, they welcome troubled players Ty and Savannah, hoping to give them a second chance after they were kicked off a former team. Can the Manatees learn to accept the newcomers? Can they teach Ty and Savannah to be good teammates? And can they all work together to beat the best team in the league, the Dragons? Baseball Buddies stories explore the power of working together, accepting differences to build a team, and the lasting friendships that form when given a chance.
