October 13, 1960: the hardscrabble Pirates were a colorful bunch of
overachievers led by Roberto Clemente and Bill Mazeroski, making
the franchise's first World Series appearance in thirty-five years
against a heavily favored Yankee squad featuring such legends as
Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, and Roger Maris. The
Pirates were outscored 46-16 through the first six games--only to
win, 10-9, when Mazeroski became the only player ever to decide
aWorld Series Game 7 with a walk-off home run.
With this "captivating book" ("New York Times"), Reisler
revisits this fall classic pitch by pitch, capturing the lively
atmosphere within the ballpark and throughout the country. The
result is the feeling of being there--from the seemingly
predictable start, to the truly unbelievable finish--of the best
game ever.
