Bottom of the 33rd - Hope, Redemption, and Baseball's Longest Game (Large print, Paperback, Large type / large print edition)

On April 18, 1981, a ball game sprang eternal. What began as a modestly attended minor league game between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings became not only the longest ever played in baseball history, but something else entirely.

With "Bottom of the 33rd," celebrated "New York Times" journalist Dan Barry has written a lyrical meditation on small-town lives, minor league dreams, and the elements of time and community that conspired one fateful night to produce a baseball game seemingly without end. This genre-bending book, a reportorial triumph, portrays the myriad lives held by the night's unrelenting grip.

An unforgettable portrait of ambition and endurance, "Bottom of the 33rd" is the rare sports book, one that changes the way we perceive America's pastime, and America's past.
