Saturday Heroes

Curtis Kent Bishop

4.9/5 (11646 ratings)

Description:Yes, it had been a good season — four of them, in fact — for Larry Baker, the quarterback, who had won all-league honors with the Chicago Comets, leading the team to professional championship. Hard years, all of them, and now Larry Baker had played his last game. Did this mean that he was through with football? Larry Baker, the strategist who made every play work, the triple-threater, the one whose injury in a game meant the difference between victory and defeat?A spine injury might mean the finish for some but not one with an indomitable will like Larry Baker's. His return to Staunton, his alma mater, as assistant coach seemed logical, Larry reasoned. However, Jim Sheldon had other plans. Memories of Larry's crushing power plays, his never-say-die spirit, his willingness to be battered and torn — but crush the other team — flashed through The Man's mind, bringing a swift rejection to Larry's proposal. But it was Susan Sheldon, the coach's daughter, who delivered the final blow to Larry Baker's pride that day. Surely she would remember the All-American. But didn't Larry know that Susan's world didn't stop turning around just because her football idol was away playing with the Chicago Comets?Then a fabulous, strutting Governor hired Larry to coach his team. Even with the color, razzle-dazzle, and fanfare that a few millions could dream up, it was not easy to maneuver an invitation to the Rose Bowl. Was Jim Sheldon right about Larry Baker? Did he have to win every game? In this thrill-packed story you will find out what really happened when two great teams and two great coaches met in that coveted New Year's Day classic.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
