Description:
The words "he's going back ... he's at the warning track" have never lost their power to thrill. From the storied blasts of the Babe to the record-shattering rockets of McGwire and Sosa, the home run has brought more sheer drama to baseball than any other single feat. Leading off with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winner David Halberstam, and with a foreword by Bobby Thomson, who in 1951 hit the single most heartbreaking (or heartwarming, if you're a Giants fan) home run of all time, Going, Going, Gone chronicles the most prolific home-run hitters, the most dramatic home runs, and the most closely-fought home-run races in the history of major league baseball. Lavishly illustrated with 150 contemporary and rare, archival photographs -- plus intriguing stats furnished by Steve Hirdt of the Elias Sports Bureau.
