With the crack of a bat and a heart full of determination, young Marcenia Lyle dreams of nothing more than playing baseball. She knows the ballfield is where she truly belongs, even if others say it’s no place for a girl. When a famous manager comes scouting for summer camp, Marcenia steps up to the plate, ready to prove she has what it takes. Catching the Moon tells the powerful, true story of the Black girl who defied expectations and became Toni Stone—the first woman to play for an all-male professional baseball team. Full of rhythm, grit, and heart, this inspiring tale celebrates the courage to dream big and the strength to break barriers.
