After seven games and 13 days, the outcome of the 1962 World Series
hung on the final pitch, thrown by a pitcher for the New York
Yankees to a hitter for the San Francisco Giants. The teams had
been evenly matched, alternating victories until the final,
winner-take-all contest. One more out would give the Yankees the
championship. A hit would almost certainly win the Giants their
first Series title since moving to San Francisco. Despite its
breathtaking climax, the '62 Series has seldom been chronicled
among the most dramatic Fall Classics. This book provides an
unprecedented in-depth examination, describing in detail each game
of the Series and the events that led up to it, including the
Giants' thrilling playoff with the Dodgers for the National League
pennant. The author compares common game strategies used in the
early 1960s vs. today and explores possible factors that made this
Series historically underrated in the annals of baseball.
