Publisher Description: Baseball. America's pastime. No other game has such a rich, compelling, and often eerie history. With this collection of essays, you'll dive deeper than the box scores and see how the game includes so many other things. Miraculous bounces, long-forgotten pitching duels, unintended prophecies, irreproducible performances-they're all here. Take a curios walk down hardball memory lane and examine some intriguing episodes of our game's extraordinary past.Has there ever been such a thing as a perfect-perfect game? What happened with the mysterious final out of 1926 World Series? Did the Chicago White Sox lose the 1919 World Series, or did the Cincinnati Reds win? Who really played the first professional night game at Wrigley Field? Is Field of Dreams even a "baseball movie?"...and much more. Play Ball! |
