About the Book

Chuck is an army corporal from the planet, Urthiesly. He gets involved in the war between his planet and the neighboring planet. He unexpectedly gets hit by a meteorite. He lands on Earth that he doesn’t know about. He is surprised because the humans look the same as the Urthieslians. When he looks around, he sees a huge building, a baseball stadium. He throws a ball, which he thought was a bomb. His 120-mile-throw causes a ball boy to have a concussion. He is offered a position on a team and starts to learn about the baseball. He makes many friends and lives happily. Will Chuck be able to succeed at a sport that he never heard about?


About the Author

I was born in Korea on September 30, 1998 and moved to Fort Lee, New Jersey, when I was ten. I was like the alien, Chuck, since everything was strange to me. But I made so many friends since I started playing baseball. I play for Franco’s Metro in the Fort Lee Little League, the travel team, and the all-star team representing Fort Lee. I play as a 2nd baseman or a centerfielder, and I even pitch as a 4th starter. This story is based on my own experience, coming to a strange place and getting along with the other people. I thank all my coaches, my teammates, and everybody working for the Fort Lee Little League.
