With incredible skill, passion, and insight, Pulitzer
Prize-winning author David Halberstam returns us to a glorious time
when the dreams of a now almost forgotten America rested on the
crack of a bat.
The year was 1949, and a war-weary nation turned from the
battlefields to the ball fields in search of new heroes. It was a
summer that marked the beginning of a sports rivalry unequaled in
the annals of athletic competition. The awesome New York Yankees
and the indomitable Boston Red Sox were fighting for supremacy of
baseball's American League, and an aging Joe DiMaggio and a brash,
headstrong hitting phenomenon named Ted Williams led their
respective teams in a classic pennant duel of almost mythic
proportions--one that would be decided in an explosive head-to-head
confrontation on the last day of the season.
