The Kid Who Only Hit Homers The Kid Who Only Hit Homers The Kid Who Only Hit Homers (1972) is a children's novel about baseball written by Matt Christopher. It was the first in a series of four novels featuring a young man (Sylvester Coddmeyer III) who is trained to play baseball by supernatural visitations from former Major League players. Sylvester Coddmeyer III is having trouble hitting on his little league baseball team and, as a result, is thinking about quitting baseball. Sylvester loved baseball, but he wasn't what you'd call a good hitter. He had decided against joining the team when he met George Baruth.
