Most sports fans know that Ted Williams ended his major league
career with style, swatting a home run in his final at bat. But
what about Babe Ruth? Ty Cobb? Joe DiMaggio? Willie Mays? How did
some of baseball's greatest players bow out of The Game? Last Time
Out answers that question as it examines how the greatest players
in baseball history left the game they once ruled. The stories of
these men and how they finished their careers, never collected
anywhere before now, show another side of the men whose
achievements on the field made them legends. After hours and hours
of research, through biographies, microfilm, magazines, and
memories, award-winning sportswriter John Nogowski culled the
stories of the final games of 25 of The Game's greatest
athletes-Babe Ruth, Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, Jackie Robinson,
Dizzy Dean, Satchel Paige, Carlton Fisk, Bob Feller, Joe Morgan,
and Carl Yastrzemski are among those featured. This impressive work
recounts the circumstances surrounding these final games and puts
you in a box seat to witness and sense the moment as these glorious
careers ceased, most often with little fanfare. Whether it be
Shoeless Joe Jackson, Lou Gehrig, Pete Rose, or Cal Ripken, Jr.,
Last Time Out beautifully captures in words and photographs the
essence of these players' last time in uniform and celebrates the
magic of the game these famed players mastered and loved.
