Randy likes space, robots, and baseball, but he can't ace everything . . . or can he? Chris Van Dusen knocks one out of the park with a comical ode to ingenuity. Randy Riley loves two things: science and baseball. When it comes to the solar system, the constellations, and all things robot, Randy is a genius. But on the baseball diamond? Not so much. He tries . . . but whiffs every time. Then, one night, Randy sees something shocking through his Space Boy telescope: it's a fireball, and it's headed right for his town Randy does the math, summons all of his science smarts, and devises a plan that will save the day in a spectacular way.

Love this ball launcher! Just buy it!
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher with Squeaking Handle, Size: One-Size
These throwers are THE BOMB ! I've been using them for 4 years. The squeaker on it is a big hit at the dog park and with my dog. Gets dogs attention. Buy the squeaky chuckit balls to go with it. Easy to clean, holds up really well.

Squeaker Pinches Hand
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher with Squeaking Handle, Size: One-Size
I toss balls 50-75 feet into the air. Works our my dog. I can actually throw a ball over 150 feet, so the dog gets a good workout. The squeaker is unnecessary and it does pinch my hand on a long toss.

Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher with Squeaking Handle, Size: One-Size
This is much cheaper than a Chuck It. And it’s just as good. My dog loves it.

Game changer
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher, Size: One-Size
This has been such a game changer in playing fetch with my dogs. The ball fits inside great and it throws smoothly and goes quite a distance.
