Description
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.

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."
