Summary "Double Play: A Story of School and Baseball" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Dan Vinton, a fifteen-year-old student at Yardley Hall School, who is making his return after a Christmas break while navigating friendships, rivalries, and school life, particularly focusing on the world of sports. The story explores themes of adolescence and the challenges of fitting in, especially for newcomers like Gerald Pennimore, whose affluent background sets him apart from his peers. At the start of the novel, Dan Vinton arrives back at school feeling a mixture of excitement and nostalgia. He encounters a homesick younger boy, Gerald Pennimore, who is about to become his roommate. Their interactions hint at upcoming challenges for Gerald, especially due to his wealthy status and the expectations that come with it. As the boys settle into their new term, the reader is introduced to the dynamics of school life and sport, as well as the camaraderie and rivalries that shape their experiences. The opening chapters also touch on themes of loyalty and the impact of social status on relationships, setting the stage for the unfolding drama at Yardley Hall.
