'Boy of Steel' Tops Amazon's Kids Book List
"The Boy of Steel,” a charming children’s book previewed by NewsMax.com in August, has made it to the top on Amazon.com.
On Wednesday, "The Boy of Steel: A Baseball Dream Come True” by sports executive Ray Negron was No. 1 in the children’s book category on Amazon.
The richly illustrated book tells the story of 6-year-old Michael Steel, who loves to watch the Yankees on TV – from his hospital bed, where he’s fighting brain cancer. [Editor's Note: Get your own copy of this wonderful children’s book from Amazon – it makes a great gift – simply Go Here Now!]
When Yankee infielder Robinson Cano visits Michael in the hospital, the boy embarks on a wonderful journey that leads him to become a Yankee batboy for a day – his baseball dream come true.
And with a little help from Yankee great Lou Gehrig, Michael gets to meet Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle – baseball legends who all died from cancer.

But when Michael’s illness weakens him on the field, he must struggle to fulfill his batboy duties. He earns the nickname Boy of Steel and learns an important lesson: never stop fighting.
Many prominent figures have praised the book, including baseball players Jim Thome and Hideki Matsui, country star Tim McGraw, Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, New York Mets manager Willie Randolph, "Sopranos” star James Gandolfini and Ron Shelton, producer of the baseball movie "Bull Durham.” All profits from the sale of the book – which is published by HarperCollins under the Regan Books imprint – will be donated to help cancer research and education.
