The 1975 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Cincinnati Reds is generally considered the best of all time, and baseball historians often rank its sixth game as the greatest single game ever played. In this resoundingly acclaimed bestseller, Tom Adelman tells the story of the season that led up to that classic Series and then delivers the inside pitch on those amazing seven games.
Industry Reviews
""A very fine book that transcends the box-score mentality of so much sportswriting....THE LONG BALL "gives you great seats, with plenty of dugout passes thrown in, to experience the majors when player allegiances weren't ephemeral and television wasn't tyrannical....Adelman has plenty to relay about what was going on off the field as well as on it."
