Mexican Whiteboy
by Matt De La Pena  is a book about a kid named Danny who goes to National City to visit his dad's family. When gets there his cousin Sofia introduces him to her friends when he notices at a near by field people are playing baseball. Danny's cousin Sofia notices that he's looking over at that the field she decides to taking him over there. When they get to the field the Derby is taking place that takes place at the baseball every Saturday. Sofia was talking to Uno who is like the main player at the Derby's and is the pitcher of his team. Sofia was telling Uno how Danny will homer anything he throws at him. The first pitch that Uno throws Danny hits over the roof(which is part of the game most homers over the roof wins) making it going over another roof. Uno can't believe his eyes. Danny hit the tennis ball over 2 houses. The second tennis ball that Uno throws Danny hits the tennis ball over both roofs again. The thrid ball goes even higher but not far as the last 2 only going over 1 roof. And the four pitch that Uno throws Danny hits it low almost hitting his hands that the bat slips from his hands going to the sidelines. The was caught by by one of the guys when Chico shouts "Yo, Man! The bat got Manny!(22) Manny is Uno's little brother. He was bleeding all over his face. Uno rushes to aid him. Uno rips off his Raider jersey and presses it against Manny's nose. He then leaves Manny in Chico's care and goes up to Danny telling him why he throw the Bat at his brother. And right there I was thinking to myself that I would say that I didn't know he was his brother and i would apologies. But since Danny was a person that didn't speak much he was say  I'm sorry quietly that Uno couldn't hear him. The next thing that happens is that he knocked by Uno. After that he had to get stitches on the back of his head.
