Summary: Great Book
Comment: This is a book that should be receiving more accolades and publicity than it has. Any serious baseball lover will get a lot out of reading it. It is much more than just a sports book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Nine Innings - Ten Seasons
Comment: Through the prism of 10 selected seasons Gilbert hits many of the touchstone moments of the game: Greenberg's grand slam in 1945, Spahn and Sain in 48 ,Thompson's shot heard round the world in 51 , Mantle and Maris's homerun chase in 1961, 1969's Amazing Mets, Fisk's dramatic homer in the 75 Series, Mcqwire and Sosa's homer duel, Barry Bonds 73 homer season, and the emotional Yankees and Diamondbacks World Series in the shadow of Sept. 11.
He ties these special seasons together tightly and seamlessly with the fabric of the surrounding daily life and the profound historical times that provided the settings for them, moving effortlessly through a half century of American History. In "Nine Innings" filmaker Ken Burns made a comprehensive if overlong case for the historical and social importance of baseball. Seasons is more confortable, coherent, and concise. An affectionate and patriotic reminiscence. There are enough new factual nuggets, anecdotes, and insights to reward the more than avid longtime fan who will be familiar much of the material. But the story of these ten seasons deserves to be retold. Especially by a good story teller.
