- Synopsis
- Originally published in 2004, The Last Best League chronicles one season in the life of the Chatham A's of the Cape Cod Baseball League, which draws the best college players in the country every summer. Over the past decade, however, baseball's hard truths became evident for Chatham's college stars, who'd had dreams of one day playing in the majors. The final chapter--how those dreams played out--can now be written.In a new afterword written for the tenth anniversary edition, Jim Collins explores an area that sports literature rarely touches: What does it mean to devote your life to an almost impossible goal and not make it? Or, make it only briefly before it slips away? What does a dream look like in retrospect?How does the game look different?
