The Last At-Bat of Shoeless Joe

Description

1951. Greenville, South Carolina. Jimmy Roberts is the best hitter in this little mill town, and maybe in the whole Textile Baseball League. He's got major league potential, and then some. But to get there, he'll need a miracle. Or maybe the help of a local drunk and liquor store owner ... who just happens to go by the name of "Shoeless Joe."
