Winning His Game
1917
Dudley Baker has a baseball in his hand and a dream in his chest, but the shy pitcher's problem is that Grafton School's baseball team doesn't know he exists. While his outgoing roommate Jimmy Logan navigates the social currents of boarding school life with effortless ease, Dudley lingers on the margins, too uncertain to try out, too afraid of rejection to risk being seen. This is the story of what happens when quiet determination meets opportunity, and whether one introverted boy can find the courage to step onto the mound and prove he belongs. Set in the winter of a New England prep school in 1917, the novel captures the delicate machinery of adolescent anxiety: the way a single moment of bravery can reshape everything, the way a friend's belief in you can become the foundation of your own. Ralph Henry Barbour was one of the most popular writers of young adult sports fiction in the early twentieth century, and Winning His Game endures because it understands something true about the way we become ourselves: sometimes we need someone to see potential in us before we can see it in our own mirror. For anyone who has ever been too afraid to try.
