Some of my fondest memories in sports have come from games or situations where the impossible becomes reality. As I watched, I had this feeling that I hoped an unlikely athlete would become the hero ofthe moment or an underdog team could pull out an unexpected victory. Some boys and girls only ever have one opportunity to have this feeling, and we all hope that we can be there to share it with them. This book contains the stories of some of these young athletes. I hope you enjoy reading these stories and get the feeling of why it is fun to Root for the Underdog. Sports have been a big part of my life since my childhood days in Levittown, Pa. I enjoyed baseball from my Little League all the way up to high school. I liked so many sports that I was always busy playing something. In high school I lettered in soccer, tennis and basketball. In the summer I pitched softball for several adult teams. At Kutztown University I concentrated on tennis and basketball. After graduating from college I played on a semi-professional basketball team, the Exeter Black Knights, which won the National Amateur Basketball Championship in 1969. I still enjoy watching sports on television and in person - especially when my grandchildren are participating.

Once, deep inside an old forest, in an old, enchanted cottage, there lived a powerful witcher named Ivan and his young son, Yanny. Yanny was the guardian of the forest and its wildlife, and the humans living around it. Every night before sunset, he walked through the woods caring for the creatures. If an animal was wounded, he would take it home for his father to heal. One night, returning from his walk, he heard a rumbling noise and the clatter of falling objects coming from their home. The door was cracked open, and he saw books, herbs, and little jars of potions swirled in the air. His father was chasing someone and casting a spell.
