520    In 1971, a small-town high school baseball team from rural
       Illinois playing with hand-me-down uniforms and peace 
       signs on their hats defied convention and the odds. Led by
       an English teacher with no coaching experience, the Macon 
       Ironmen emerged from a field of three hundred and seventy 
       teams to become the smallest school in Illinois history to
       make the state final, a distinction that still stands. 
       There, sporting long hair, and warming up to Jesus Christ 
       Superstar, the Ironmen would play a dramatic game against 
       a Chicago powerhouse that would change their lives 
       forever.In a gripping, cinematic narrative, Sports 
       Illustrated writer Chris Ballard tells the story of the 
       team and its coach, Lynn Sweet, a hippie, dreamer and 
       intellectual who arrived in Macon in 1966, bringing 
       progressive ideas to a town stuck in the Eisenhower era. 
       Beloved by students but not administration, Sweet 
       reluctantly took over a rag-tag team, intent on teaching 
       the boys as much about life as baseball. Inspired by 
       Sweet's unconventional methods and led by fiery star Steve
       Shartzer and spindly curveball artist John Heneberry, the 
       undersized, undermanned Macon Ironmen embarked on an 
       improbable postseason run that infuriated rival coaches 
       and buoyed an entire town. Beginning with Sweet's arrival,
       Ballard takes listeners on a journey back to the Ironmen's
       historic season and then on to the present day, returning 
       to the 1971 Ironmen to explore the effect the game had on 
       their lives' trajectories-and the men they've become 
       because of it. Engaging and poignant, One Shot at Forever 
       is a testament to the power of high school sports to shape
       the lives of those who play them, and it reminds us that 
       there are few bonds more sacred than those among a coach, 
       a team, and a town.
