How Georgie Radbourn Saved Baseball
How Georgie Radbourn Saved Baseball is a picture book, published in 1994. Written by David Shannon, it is set in a dystopian future where a corporate boss/dictator named Boss Swaggert has banned baseball, even phrases associated with baseball. Since there is no more baseball, spring never comes, leaving America in perpetual winter. A young boy is born (to Ebbet and Mary Radbourn) who speaks baseball terminology whenever he opens his mouth. Can he be the savior who will bring baseball?
