It's the final game of the season, and Billy's got one last chance to prove who he is and what he's capable of -- to prove what really matters in life. Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Shaara calls upon his intimate knowledge of baseball to create this exciting story about pride, the fear of aging, and the time when a man's character is defined by the choices he makes. A taut, compelling story of one man's coming of age, For Love of the Game is Shaara's final novel: the classic finish to a brilliantly distinguished literary career.
