Frost recreates what many consider to be the most exciting baseball Game ever played--the match-up between the Boston Red Sox and the Cincinnati Reds in the 1975 World Series.
In bestselling author Mark Frost\'s talented hands, the historical significance of Game Six becomes every bit as engrossing as its compelling human drama..
This World Series marked the end of an era; baseball\'s reserve clause was about to be struck down, giving way to the birth of free agency, a watershed moment that changed American sports forever.
Game Six is an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at what is considered by many to be the greatest baseball Game ever played--remarkable also because it was about so much more than just balls and strikes.
Here are all the inside stories of some of that era\'s biggest names in sports: Johnny Bench, Luis Tiant, Sparky Anderson, Pete Rose, Carl Yastrzemski--eight Hall of Famers in all--as well as sportscasters and network execs, cameramen, umpires, groundskeepers, politicians, and fans who gathered in Fenway that extraordinary night.
But for all the anticipation, nobody could have predicted what a classic it would turn out to be: an extra-innings thriller, created by one of the Big Red Machine\'s patented comebacks and the Red Sox\'s improbable late-inning rally; clutch hitting, heart-stopping defensive plays, and more twists and turns than a Grand Prix circuit, climaxed by one of the most famous home runs in baseball history that ended it in the twelfth.
