Summary "Baseball Joe, Champion of the League: Or, The Record That Was Worth While" by Lester Chadwick is a fictional sports novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on Joe Matson, better known as "Baseball Joe," who is a talented pitcher and captain of the Giants baseball team. The story explores his quest for excellence in the game while also showcasing his experiences both on the field and in personal life, including his dedication to achieving remarkable records during the season. The opening of the book introduces Joe in a spring training setting where he is practicing with his team. The dialogue between Joe and his teammates reveals his competitive spirit and desire to continually improve, along with the camaraderie shared among the players. As they engage in a practice match, Joe showcases his outstanding skills both in pitching and hitting, which sets the stage for the challenges and adventures he will face during the upcoming season, including a dramatic act of bravery when he rescues a woman from a burning house. This scene not only emphasizes Joe's heroism but also hints at the pressures he faces from being the team's star player. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
