The Greatest Game [Book]
Via David Kelly and Paper Cuts -
Last fall, Jim Reisler came out with a book called “The Best Game Ever,” which focused on Game 7 of the 1960 World Series (the Bill Mazeroski game). Next month, we’ll see Richard Bradley’s book “The Greatest Game,” featuring the playoff between the Yankees and the Red Sox in 1978 (the Bucky Dent game).
More on Richard Bradley.
Here's something that I found on the book:
Not a book intended to celebrate a triumph or lament a loss, The Greatest Game will be embraced in both Boston and New York, with fans of both teams recalling again the talented young men they once gave their hearts to. And fans everywhere will be reminded how utterly gripping a single baseball game can be and that the rewards of being a fan lie not in victory but in caring beyond reason, even decades after the fact.
I'm going to have to check this one out, for sure.
