Summary

Hockey Card: The best-selling, award-winning homage to hockey great Maurice "The Rocket" RichardGame day: Ronde and Tiki are a team. They are twins, they are each other's best friends and biggest fans, and they play on the same football team, the Cave Spring Vikings. Ronde is #21 and Tiki is #22, always side by side. Tiki has had seven long touch-down runs this season, and Ronde is proud of his brother, but he can't help feeling a little down when Tiki gets all the glory. If Ronde hadn't been leading the way with his blocks, Tiki wouldn't have been clear to score. Ronde thinks nobody notices the guy who blocks; they only notice the guy who scores. Will the day ever come when Ronde will get his chance?Just like Josh Gibson: Grandmama could hit the ball a mile, catch anything that was thrown, and do everything else -- just like Josh Gibson. But unfortunately, no matter how well a girl growing up in the 1940s played the game of baseball, she would have faced tremendous challenges. These challenges are not unlike those met by the legendary Josh Gibson, arguably the best Negro-League player to never make it into the majorsCasey and Derek on the ice: After Casey wins the face off, it's up to Derek to make the tying goal. Can he do it? The fans are on their feet as he speeds down the ice. He cuts inside, splitting the defense. He's about to shoot. Then CRASH! Here is a hockey yarn sure to bringreaders to their feet cheering for the underdogsWild League on ice: The Wild League hockey tournament is about to get underway when an icestorm shuts the town down. Rather than go home, the six rival teams join forces and use their skills to get the town up and running again
