Description
This hardcover book, "LAST OF THE SMALL TOWN HEROES" by Bobby Plump, is a must-have for basketball enthusiasts. The book, published in 1997 by Good Morning Publishing, is a biography that chronicles Plump's journey from his small town hero days to becoming a professional athlete. The book is personalized to me and signed by Plump himself, making it a unique addition to any sports memorabilia collection. The book covers the era of the Indiana state basketball in the 1950’s and is set in Milan, Indiana. In 1954, Plump hit “the shot heard around the world “—the biggest shot in the greatest game in the history of high school basketball. Mr. Plump and his high school teammates were the inspiration behind the 1986 film “Hoosiers” starring Gene Hackman. Plump is listed in Sports Illustrated as one of the 50 greatest Indiana sports figures of the 20th century. The book is perfect for young adults and is a great way to inspire them to pursue their dreams. What a motivating read!
