Selected play-by-play sometimes pitch-by-pitch accounts of 9 memorable baseball games including: The Shot Heard Round the World Bobby Thomson; The Haddix Game the tragic loss by pitcher Harvey Haddix when being perfect is not good enough; The Fisk Game Carlton Fisk's memorable night in Boston; The Houston Marathon 16 innings that decided the 1986 National League Pennant; The $15000 slide the most famous game of the 19th Century; Bill Mazeroski's homer decides the epic 1960 World series; etc. From Publishers Weekly: "Gutman explores nine of the greatest baseball games ever played from no-hitters to slugfests. Coverage here includes exciting play-by-play commentary and black-and-white photos." From School Library Journal: "As even the author acknowledges choosing the top nine games in the long history of baseball is quite a challenge and there are those who would probably argue with his selections. However such disagreements are what make baseball a beloved sport and there can be no doubt that this book is a lot of fun to read. Gutman's descriptions of the games don't get bogged down in too many details and he has an old-fashioned snappy sportswriter's style that's just right." . First Printing of the First Edition.
