Meet Cowboy Mike and Winston at the Ballpark: Eighth Book in the Series Is Here

 PRESCOTT, Ariz. - Oct. 8, 2026 -- Cowboy Mike and his miniature pony, Winston, have found a new place to go: the baseball stadium. Author Michael Eastwood, who young readers know as "Cowboy Mike," has released Cowboy Mike and Winston: A Day at the Ball Game, the eighth title in his Cowboy Mike and Winston Adventures series.

The picture book is written for children ages 3 to 8. It follows the duo through a day at the ballpark full of baseball, laughs, and lessons.

Along the way, Pedro Grifol helps Cowboy Mike and Winston understand how the game works and why so many people love it. Readers get a front-row seat as the two tour the park, learn baseball facts, and find out that any outing is better with a good friend, even one with hooves.

For Eastwood, the aim is to make learning enjoyable and to give families one more story to share.

"I want children to have fun when they read these books, but I also want them to walk away having learned something," Eastwood said. "Cowboy Mike and Winston have always been about friendship, curiosity, animals, and making learning enjoyable. A Day at the Ball Game gives children a chance to experience baseball through characters they already know and love."

A Look Back at the Last Adventure

The previous book took Mike and Winston in a very different direction. In Cowboy Mike and Winston: A Quest for Clean Water, the pair set out to find clean water for their ranch. They meet Vickie Johnston of H2O Health, who explains why clean, healthy water is so important. The story shows children how water affects people, animals, and the communities they live in.

Stories From Blue Mountain Ranch and Beyond

The series follows Mike and Winston through daily life at Blue Mountain Ranch and into the wider world. Each book entertains first and teaches along the way, with age-appropriate lessons about animals, responsibility, gratitude, community, and the world around us.

More books in the series:

  • Cowboy Mike and Winston Go to the Racetrack
  • Cowboy Mike and Winston Explore Prescott, Arizona
  • A Day in the Life of Cowboy Mike and Winston
  • A Day at Blue Mountain Ranch with Cowboy Mike and Winston

Eastwood's lifelong connection to horses and animals is the source of the series. Winston, the miniature pony at the heart of the stories, led to a broader literacy and education mission that encourages children to enjoy reading while learning about horses, ponies, and daily life. The books are meant for kids and for the parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers who read them aloud.

Why Waiting to Buy a Home Could Cost You a Small Fortune

 Mike Eastwood Author and Chief Executive Officer of Bello Sol Inc/ West USA Realty of Prescott states.  Many people are sitting on the fence trying to decide if now’s the time to   buy a home . Some are renters who have a strong desire to become homeowners but are unsure if buying right now makes sense. Others may be homeowners who are realizing that their current home no longer fits their changing needs. To determine if they should buy now or wait another year, they both need to ask two simple questions: Do I think home values will be higher a year from now? Do I think mortgage rates will be higher a year from now? Let’s shed some light on the answers to these questions. Where will home prices be a year from now? If you average the most recent  projections  from the major industry forecasters, the expectation is home prices will increase by 7.7%. Let’s take a house that’s valued today at $325,000 as an example. If the buyer makes a 10% down payment ($32,500), ...
