Honus & Me by Dan Gutman 139 pp.
This is book one in the "Baseball Card Adventures" series. Joe Stoshack collects baseball cards ever since his dad gave him his old collection. "Stosh" finds a valuable Honus Wagner baseball card while cleaning the attic of an elderly neighbor. He then discovers his magical ability to travel through time while touching baseball cards. Honus Wagner befriends the boy and Stosh is given the opportunity to see Game 7 of the 1909 World Series between the Pirates and the Tigers. Wagner also coaches Stosh on his batting skills.A little bit of romance and a shady baseball memorabilia dealer add to the story. I read this while searching for books for the next Treehouse Book Club.
