Miracle Mud: Lena Blackburne and the Secret Mud That Changed Baseball
by David A. Kelly
illustrated by Oliver Dominguez
Lena Blackburne loved baseball. However, while he was a good player, he was not an outstanding player who would break records or become famous for his playing. Despite this, he found a way to make an important change in baseball: his discovery of a special mud that would help solve problems that many players were having with shiny, new baseballs. Even today, Lena's special mud is still used by major league baseball teams.
Miracle Mud is a fun, informative, picture book biography that will be a good choice for fans of baseball. It explores a unique aspect of the sport that not everyone may know about! As someone who knows little about baseball, I enjoyed reading this book and learning about someone who made a contribution that is still important to the sport today!
