Overview

Have you ever been part of a team so strong that you carried the memories of that group of people with you for the rest of your life? One Team One Dreamcaptures such a scenario, with a fact based account of the 1997 William Byrd High School baseball Virginia state champions. More importantly, it tells a story that anyone who has ever felt a brotherhood or sisterhood with teammates can relate to. The magic that was captured by these twenty-two young men takes a break from todays world of big money contracts, steroids, and scandal, and focuses on the things that matter, such as; the relationships between players and coaches, including the battle that the players went through to keep their coach from being fired. This story tells the true meaning of the most cherished thing in sports. Being a team.Readers will relate to the highs and lows experienced by this team, including having the star pitcher and starting second baseman suspended at the beginning of the season by the school for alcohol violations, beating the odds by winning their sixth straight district championship, being behind by one run in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs, only to have an unlikely player produce a homerun to tie the game in a moment that rivaled that of Kirk Gibsons legendary World Series homerun, and ultimately the moment that transformed the small town of Vinton, Virginia forever, winning the state championship on their home field. For readers whose playing days are behind them, or for current players, there will be moments in One Team One Dream that hit home, and make them realize how special a bond with teammates can be.
