Review of 'One shot at forever' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Great book - how has it not been made into a movie yet? High school baseball and hijinks and hippies and heartaches pepper this story about a coach and a team and their unlikely playoff run. Excellent sports writing and research, the people of Macon come alive. Highly recommended!
