"Tommy Tiptop and His Baseball Nine: or, The Boys of Riverdale and Their Good Times" by Raymond Stone is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the energetic and determined boy, Tommy Tiptop, who is passionate about baseball and aims to organize his own baseball team shortly after moving to Riverdale with his family.

We see Tommy's leadership qualities and enthusiasm as he persists in wanting to play despite minor disputes over turns and positions. As Tommy's family prepares to move to Riverdale, he expresses his concerns about leaving his friends and starting anew, but his optimism shines through as he begins to plan for building a new baseball team in his new town. Throughout this beginning chapter, the reader is drawn into Tommy's world of fun, challenges, and budding friendships, setting the stage for a series of adventures centered around baseball.
