The FBI has learned of Stosh’s power to travel through time with baseball cards, and he’s been assigned to return to 1941 to warn President Roosevelt about the attack on Pearl Harbor.

willie & me number 12 in the baseball card adventure series. Stosh thought that he had finished traveling through time. But then Ralph Branca shows up in his room one night, begging for Stosh’s help. In 1951, Branca threw a ball to Bobby Thomson that would become the “shot heard around the world,” a home run that won the National League pennant for the New York Giants and changed Branca’s life and thomson forever. branca says that the giants were cheating, and he needs stosh to use his power with the baseball cards to go back in time and fix things.
Stosh is determined to help, but soon learns that not a single detail of history can be changed.

With the wisdom of all the players he’s helped before, plus the surprise return of some familiar faces, Stosh uses his power to travel back in time using baseball cards one last time in a fabulous ending to the adventure of a lifetime.
