The hero two doors down

Description:

Steven Satlow is an eight-year-old boy living in Brooklyn, New York, which means he only cares about one thing -- the Dodgers. Steve's love for the baseball team is passed down to him from his father. The two of them spend hours reading the sports pages and listening to games on the radio. Aside from an occasional run-in with his teacher, life is pretty simple for Steve.
