I was just pointing out that it was weird that Stine focuses so much on basketball and ignores every other sport. To spite me, Stine had one of his ghostwriters pen a tale about a doomed little league team from 1948.
Buddy Sanders loves baseball. It's too bad the Shadyside little league team is the pits. They've never won a game. Buddy still enjoys seeing his friends and playing the game for the fun of it, but just once he'd like to be on a winning team. Then, when playing in a vacant lot near Fear Street a fly ball goes over the fence of an abandoned house. There, an old man appears and tells him about the Shadyside Doom Squad. They were a near-unbeatable team that was killed in 1948 when, returning from the championships, their bus stalled on the train tracks and was struck.
Later, a stray fastball strikes Buddy and he wakes up in 1948. He's in the body of the star player of the Doom Squad! Like with MacFearson's other book for the 'Ghosts' series, 'House of a Thousand Screams', there's a lot of effort put into characterization and, again, it pays off in spades. You can have as many gross-out, objectively scary things happen as you like, but if you don't care about the characters it's not going to have any real effect. As I child I would have loved the details about life in 1940s that are scattered in here and the story is solid and genre-savvy. It's not about baseball at all. It is baffling that this book doesn't have more fans as it is so much more rewarding than most of the series.
