This masterful countdown of 50 of the most memorable episodes in baseball’s history will make you fall in love with the sport all over again – or indeed for the very first time. No.1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Posnanski writes of major moments that created legends – Babe Ruth’s called shot, Kirk Gibson’s limping home run – alongside those raw with the humanity of the game: the unheralded heroes, the mesmerising mistakes. These are moments so powerful they feel like myth – even to a Brit raised on googlies, leg-slips and silly mid offs.
Published to tie in with the 2024 ‘London Series’, when the New York Mets take on the Philadelphia Phillies – and with plenty of new material for British readers – this is the book to infect a nation with a new sporting passion.
