Jackie & Me, published in 1999, is the second novel in the series Baseball Card Adventures.
Joe Stoshack is severely insulted during one of his at-bats in a baseball game by the opposing pitcher, Bobby Fuller, and loses his temper. He charges the mound, determined to teach Fuller a lesson. Mass chaos follows, and Joe ends up getting suspended indefinitely from Little League. He lives in Louisville Kentucky.
He then goes to school the next day and receives an assignment to write a report on a famous African-American. He chooses Jackie Robinson. He uses his special and the teacher exclaims it the best in the class.
His suspension from the Little League is lifted for the last game of the season. He again meets Bobby Fuller in the bottom of the last inning with the score tied, but this time ignores his heckling and gets a single. After that, he manages to successfully steal second base, third base, and home plate, getting the ultimate revenge.
