About this ebook
Baseball has a rich history-and a treasure trove of books, magazines, and newspaper accounts celebrating (or lamenting) what went down on the diamond. And some of the most amazing games happened when fall arrived and the boys of summer played for the championship. During those two weeks in October (now November), time stood still. Nothing else mattered.
This anthology captures the best of times and the worst of times as teams battled for the glory-and will bring back memories to all who cherish America's national sport.
On these pages, you'll find:
o Casey Stengel's inside-the-park home run 1923-Robert W. Creamer
o Babe Ruth's Called Shot 1932-Leigh Montville
o The Catch: Willie Mays and Vic Wertz 1954-Arnold Hano
o Dusty's Moment, 1954 World Series-Stephen Jay Gould
o Jackie Robinson Steals Home 1955-Carl Erskine
o Dodgers Win 1955 (Sandy Amoros catch)-Tom Oliphant
o Don Larsen's Perfect Game 1956-Don Larsen
o Mazeroski's Home Run Yankees vs. Pirates 1960-Lester J. Biederman
o 1986 Mets vs. Red Sox-Roger Angell
o St. Louis Cardinals 1964-David Halberstam
o World Series cancelled 1994-Jack Curry
o Cleveland/Atlanta series 1995-Tom Verducci
