The year began with the dawning of free agency and ended with the greatest World Series of all time, featuring a legendary home run by Boston catcher Carlton Fisk. It was a season of such larger-than-life ballplayers as Reggie Jackson, Pete Rose, Catfish Hunter, Carl Yastrzemski, and Johnny Bench. From the preseason through the World Series, Adelman shares the fascinating back stories and recounts the classic games in such striking details that you'll swear you hear bats cracking.
A behind-the-scenes account that is blunt, funny, and sometimes shocking, The Long Ball is an engrossing story whether you love baseball or not. Richard M. Davidson narrates with all the panache of a play-by-play radio announcer.
