The Long Season

Created and Curated by Ken Holm

Spring 1987, the Rio Grande Valley. You are the new baseball coach at Esperanza High, hired because nobody else applied. You have nine kids and one alternate, a field that floods when it rains, and uniforms older than your players. The district plans to close the school after this season. A winning season might keep it open.
