I was at our little league Fiesta about 2 weeks ago and found a beat up paperback gem of a book on my chair.
It is a non-fiction account of a high school baseball team in rural Illinois 1971 that went all the way to state and nearly won the whole thing. It's a David and Goliath story, and more. It's also about the hippie coach that made practices optional and encouraged players to do their own thing. These corn fed kids sewed peace symbol patches on their caps.
You may call it mixing your metaphors. I call it balance. I call it taking the best from both worlds.
Read this one, James.
