"The Magical Season of the Macon Ironmen" by Chris Ballard was published in the recent June 28th edition of Sports Illustrated. It's a story everyone will like. Here's a teaser:
"What the Ironmen lacked in amenities they made up for with teamwork and talent. Hailing from Macon and the minuscule town of Elwin (pop. 80) six miles up Highway 51, they had been playing with or against each other their entire lives, beginning in Little League and sandlot games."
