Summary: 25 Great Moments from the Baseball Documentary
Comment: The title of this book based on the PBS documentary "Baseball" is "25 Great Moments," which is of some importance because the claim here is not that these are the GREATEST moments in baseball history. So do not expect to find everything you might think to find on this list. You will find some of the games most memorable home runs, from Babe Ruth's called shot and Bobby Thompson's shot heard 'round the world, to record breakers by Roger Maris and Hank Aaron, World Series game winners by Carlton Fisk and Joe Carter, and back-to-back jacks by the Griffeys. But then there are also several moments that do not happen in a baseball game as with Lou Gehrig Day and Sandy Koufax's retirement and the formation of the Negro League and first professional women's league. Sometimes the great moment lasts an entire season, as when Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams had historic seasons in 1941. Unlike the "Shadow Ball" book in this series, this one does not get beyond what we saw in the documentary, so you will get a bit more than what we saw, but not much. Note: The key photographs for each moment usually have a quote imprinted on them, often in silver ink, which sometimes is very hard to read.
