They had just won the American Legion Baseball Championship. By the time they reached Kansas City on the trip home to New Mexico, they were ready to tackle anyone – including the Kansas City Athletics. Bronc was especially eager to try his pitching against the big league hitters, but the Sonora coach, Cap’n Al Carter, had other ideas. PP When Cap’n Al announced that his championship team would play a series with a small-town New Mexico rival, the hot-tempered Bronc blew up in front of newspapermen. In one moment of anger and cocky overconfidence he made a rash statement which the reporters were smart enough to pick up – that one–sentence quote had a mighty big whiplash, and Bronc was the first to feel it. PP Bronc knew it would take more than a home run to win back the lost respect of his teammates – and himself. His struggle to disprove the rumors that branded him a snob and swell-head makes a thrilling, action-packed story set against an authentic baseball background., Keywords: Bronc Burnett, Baseball, Baseball Story, Sports, CLT00153
