Billy Chapel is a baseball legend: after seventeen distinguished seasons a sure Hall of Famer. He's one of the last of the great competitors, a man who has retained the endearing qualifies of youth, a man who has devoted his life to the game he loves and plays so well. But, because of his superior skills and innocent faith, he has been betrayed. 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.
