Opis

In this wonderful page-turner, veteran sports journalist Mike Vaccaro brings to life a bygone era in cinematic and intimate detail and re-creates the magic and suspense of the world s first classic series.
Despite a major presidential election, the near-assassination of Teddy Roosevelt, and the most sensational trial of the young century, baseball dominated front-page headlines in October 1912. The Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants of that year two of the finest ball clubs that had ever been assembled went head-to-head in a thrilling eight-game battle that ultimately elevated the World Series from a regional October novelty to a national obsession."
