The Chums of Scranton High out for the Pennant or, In the Three Town League

Donald Ferguson's The Chums of Scranton High out for the Pennant or, In the Three Town League plunges listeners into the crack of the bat and the fierce schoolyard loyalties of early twentieth-century small-town America. This coming-of-age teen/young-adult novel follows Hugh Morgan, Jim Pettigrew, Owen and a spirited nine from Scranton High as they battle rival teams Bellevue and Allandale in a seasonal race for the Three Town League pennant. Blending action-packed baseball play with mystery, humor and heartfelt camaraderie, the story charts practices spoiled by rain, tense finishes, sly rival tricks, and boyish schemes—from “the man with the cough” to daring road adventures—without ever losing sight of sportsmanship and friendship. Ferguson’s period detail and wholesome moral tone evoke a bygone era of school spirit and community rivalry, offering both dramatic games and character-driven moments. Perfect for fans of vintage sports fiction and teen drama, this audiobook will appeal to young adults, nostalgic listeners, and baseball lovers who enjoy spirited team tales filled with heart, rivalry, and the timeless thrill of the game.
