Patrick Lantry One shot at forever book blog

I read the book One Shot at Forever over the summer. I really liked this book because it was all about baseball. This was a true story and it focused on a small town named Macon. Macon is located on the southern side of Illinois. It then talks about the schools baseball team. The team has a hippy for a coach and a small budget. Then the team plays a lot of games and wins most of them. They then move on to the state tournament where they win the regionals. Next they advance to the state champion ship tournament where they defeat three teams and move on the to final game. In the final game they don't play good and they loose. Even though they lost the final game I thought this was a great book and I highly recommend it



A theme in the book One Shot At Forever  is a small town coming together. This theme was formed when a small towns baseball team made it to the state championship. This was the first time the team made it to the championship. everyone from the town then closed their businesses and farms for the day and went up to the game. The fans supported and cheered for their team. That is how the theme was formed.

One Shot At Forever article
This article is about a small town's baseball team. The team has a coach with no experience and who knows nothing about baseball. This team though goes against the odds and makes it to the state finals despite little talent and no coaching.
