review 1: Hard to believe that the men who took to the field, in what I consider the greatest baseball game ever played, are now in their early to mid-70's. This is not only a story of baseball's greatest World Series, but it's also about America in the midst of the Me Decade. The '75 World Series would prove to be the last "pure" series before free-agency and big money came into the game. It is like walking into a different world reading Game 6, but it is also a joy to go back to a supposedly simpler time. Where were you in '75?
review 2: This truly is a 5 star read, and not just because I'm an obsessive baseball fanatic. The author examines one game in amazing detail while intermingling baseball history and lore at appropriate moments in the unfolding drama. What can b... moree said about this game that hasn't been said already? Anyone familiar with the Red Sox and their storied history can instantly call to mind the footage of Fisk keeping the game winning homer fair through sheer will and perhaps the game's greatest display of body language. (If not for a man named Buckner, this might have been the best known video footage in the Red Sox archive.) What I realized as I listened to this book was how little I knew about the 4 hours preceding that historic moment where one of the greatest catchers in the history of the game launched on of the most famous homers in the history of the game. One of my favorite baseball books, and a must - read for any baseball fan. less
