Then he encounters two playersone brilliant but undisciplined, the other eager but unremarkablewho show him that his greatest contribution may come in the last place he ever expected.</p><p>Full of passion, ambition, and possibility, <em>The Might Have Been</em> maps the profound and unpredictable moments that change our lives forever, and the irresistible power of a second chance.</p><p><strong>Praise for</strong> <em><strong>The Might Have Been</strong></em></p><p>The effort to sustain the tradition of the great American baseball novel receives an honorable boost with this meticulously peopled tale of opportunities lost.<em>The New York Times Book Review</em></p><p>Eventually, all of us have to grapple our might-have-beens.
