This enchanting novel about Billy Chapel, a great baseball player pitching what may be his last game, has been hailed as a classic. It is the beautiful story of a lonely hero and his final rite of passage.

  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Billy Chapel is a baseball legend, a man who has devoted his life to the game he loves and plays so well. But because of his unsurpassed skill and innocent faith, he has been betrayed. Now it's the final game of the season, and Billy's got one last chance to prove who he is and what he can do, a chance to prove what really matters in this life. A taut, compelling story of one man's coming of age, FOR LOVE OF THE GAME is Michael Shaara's final novel, the classic finish to a brilliantly distinguished literary career.
