Summary "Catcher Craig" by Christy Mathewson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around Sam Craig, a seventeen-year-old captain of his high school baseball team, who aspires to contribute to a boys' summer camp called "The Wigwam." With themes of sportsmanship, personal growth, and camaraderie, the narrative sets the stage for Sam's journey as he navigates challenges and relationships, particularly in his new role at the camp. The opening of the book introduces Sam as he browses a sporting goods store, contemplating whether to purchase a new catcher's mitt. He eventually learns about a summer job opportunity at a boys' camp, which he ponders despite concerns about leaving his family behind. Supported by his friends, Sam embarks on this adventure, showcasing his character’s blend of determination and modesty. Throughout the early chapters, readers witness Sam's development as he prepares for the camp and begins to understand the responsibilities that come with mentoring and coaching younger boys in athletics.
