"Baseball Joe" Matson has recently moved to Riverside with his family, in this opening volume of Baseball Joe series. Joe is a wide-awake country boy who enjoys playing baseball. We follow his career in the series, and his adventures, as he joins Riverside's local nine and makes good, playing the position he most enjoys - that of pitcher, are recounted here. When not on the diamond, Joe is assisting his father against foes who are trying to steal Mr. Matson's machinery patents.
Lester Chadwick is one of dozens of house pseudonyms created by the Stratemeyer Syndicate in the early to mid 1900's, to "author" children's series. Contract writers (whose identities were to remain unknown under tight secrecy) were hired to write the books in the series under the various names, usually multiple writers contributing volumes to a particular series. Howard R. Garis (1873-1962) is thought to have solely ghost-written the 14-volume Baseball Joe series. (Summary by Donald Cummings) (4 hr 40 min)

Donald Cummings does a wonderful job reading the first in the series about Baseball Joe. This 14 book series was published between 1912 and 1928. Mr. Cummings captures the sincerity of the novels which provide an interesting insight into both the era and early 20th century baseball. As a history teacher and baseball fan I was delighted to find Mr. Cummings work and hopes he continues through all 14 books!
