Overview

After two seasons with the All-Stars, Gary the Third Baseman has stopped working hard at becoming a better player. He worked really hard to secure a spot on the team, but as time has gone on, he stopped practicing as much, and it's starting to show when he misses a few ground balls and overthrows to second base, costing the team the game. His teammates try to get him to go to extra practices, but Gary turns them down. When he realizes his teammates are all putting in a lot of hard work, he decides he needs to do the same or he'll be letting the All-Stars team down. When Gary learns the value of hard work, he becomes an even better Third Baseman, and a better player on the All-Stars team. Gary the Third Baseman Learns Hard Work is the next book in the Threads & Friends series, dedicated to helping kids learn life lessons through sports.
