There are three significant settings in this book. All of which take place in Michigan. The first one is in the suburban town of Bloofield, Michigan. It is where the main character, Brian Dudley, lives. Brian lives with his mom in their two story house. The town of Bloomfield is a small town, not faraway from the bustling city of Detriot, which is where the next setting is. The next setting is Comerica Park. It is where The Detriot Tigers play. Being a batboy means spending almost more times than the players at the park. Batboys must clean up the club house, wash the dugout, and make sure all of the materials are in stock. Sometimes, after a game that goes late into the night, batboys must sleep at the stadium if there is an early game the next day. Brian sometimes does that, therefore, he spends allot of time at Comercia. The final setting is at Brian's baseball field in Bloomfield, Michigan. Brian is not hitting so well for his team, and he really needs practice. Brian gets the suprise of his life, when Hank teachesBrian to hit on that very field. Brian, taking lessons from a big leauger, suddenly starts to hit better and is carrying his team on his shoulders.
