Summary:
Power to the pipsqueaks.
The Bears had been given the chance of their young lifetimes--a shot at glory at the major league Houston Astrodome.
But when Coach Buttermaker's replacement turned out to be the meanest guy in town it just didn't seem worth it. Then Kelly Leak--The Kid King of Kool--came along with a liberation plan.
Soon they were heading down the highway to Houston in a borrowed (sort of) van, stopping along the way long enough to get scalped by some ball-playing Indians, and turning a motel into a chicken-littered, pizza-infested gorilla camp.
Suddenly, they were there, trembling on the Astroturf, facing the biggest challenge of their lives, while 45,000 pairs of staring eyes reminding them "it isn't how you play the game, it's whether you win or lose that counts!"
THE BAD NEWS BEARS IN BREAKING TRAINING
A tear-jerking, laugh-getting, heart-warming home run of a story!
