In Senior Year, Dan Shaughnessy focuses his acclaimed sportswriting talent on his son Sams senior year of high school, a turning point in any young life and certainly in the relationship between father and son. Sam is a natural hitter who quickly ascended the ranks of youth baseball. Now nicknamed the 3-2 Kid for his astonishing ability to hover betweensuccess and failure in everything he does, Sam is finally a senior and it is all on the line: what college to attend; how to keep his grades up and his head down until graduation; and whether his final high school baseball season will end in disappointment or triumph.All along the way, Dad is there, chronicling that universal experience of putting your child out on the field-and in the world-and hoping for the best.With gleaming insight, wicked humor, and, at times, the searching soul of an unsure father, Shaughnessy illuminates how sports connect generations and how they help us grow up-and let go.
