In Senior Year, Dan Shaughnessy focuses his acclaimed
sports writing talents on his son’s senior year of high
school, a turning point in any young life and certainly in
the relationship between father and son. Using that
experience, Shaughnessy circles back to his own boyhood
and calls upon the many sports greats he’s known over the
years—Ted Williams, Roger Clemens, Larry Bird—to capture
that uniquely American rite of passage that is sports. Sam
Shaughnessy was born a natural hitter and quickly ascended
the ranks of youth sports. Now nicknamed the 3-2 Kid for
his astonishing ability to hover between success and
failure in everything he does, Sam is finally a senior,
and it’s all on the line: what college to attend; how to
keep his grades up and his head down until graduation; and
whether or not his final high school baseball season, will
end in disappointment or triumph.
