When Rob wins a contest to be the Blue Jays' Special Batboy, he can't believe his luck.

Rob wins a contest to be the Toronto Blue Jays' bat boy during spring training in Florida. He not only meets his baseball heroes, he's one of the team.

When some of the players' equipment mysteriously disappears from a locked cupboard, however, team morale drops and Rob worries he's a suspect. To save his reputation and the Blue Jays' season, he scrambles to solve the mystery.

Baseball Crazy fulfills every fan's dream to work and play in the big leagues.
