Baseball Math and Literacy Unit

Hi Friends!
It's about that time!!!! Baseball season is just around the corner!!! I just heard that opening day at Busch Stadium is only 26 days away! Go Cards:)
So, I'm a HUGE Cardinals fan....O.K., Well, I used to be a WAAAAAY bigger, better fan before I had kids:) But, I still LOVE to go to the game every chance I get-which is pretty few and far between the past few years:)
Anyway-I've been wanting to put this unit together for a REALLY long time. I've been doing a baseball theme for quite a few years and had LOTS of ideas.....so, here they are!!!!!!!!!
