Game Six: Cincinnati, Boston, and the 1975 World Series: The Triumph of America's Pastime Audiobook

" Can you imagine writing a book about one baseball game? All right, it's probably the best baseball game ever played. Even though the author details every pitch of the game, the book never drags. A must for baseball fans who love to read. "

" Filling out a book that focuses solely on one game is difficult. Frost does an excellent job of giving us the back story on all the major players in Game Six. In doing so, however, he loses the drama of the game itself. Too often Frost goes on for pages and pages describing a players career or events from earlier in the season that brought the teams to this point, then, seemingly as an afterthought, throws in a bit of game action. The epilogue also seems like a reach. Frost focuses too much on the Red Sox continued suffering all the way through their World Series win in 2002. I would have liked to have read more about the later careers of the players who were a part of Game Six than a thirty year history of the Red Sox since that night. "

" Though two other books have been written on the '75 series, this covered new ground. Other than the author's skewed perspective on court-ordered busing in Boston, this is spot on. "

" This is a fantastic book for red sox fanatics. It's amazing how well the writer, Mark Frost, weaves together background stories with the action of the game. Totally enjoyable. Masterfully done! "

" Good book that makes effective use of the form for an epic game. "

" What an amazing story. If you are fan of baseball, and of these two team in particular, you will love this book. It gives not only a great account of the game but also gives you the back story of of the key players involved and reminds you of US/world events that were happening at the time. "

" A great storyteller tells this interedsting story. "

" Pleasantly surprised - this was one of the best sport histories I have read in a good while. "

" Well written and entertaining, but I don't think the author needed to recount every single pitch. "

" Very good in-depth story about the events and the participants. "

" Some tidbits on Bernie Carbo and the history of the Red Sox that the avid fan might not have been aware of. "

" A well researched, well written account of Game Six of the 1975 World Series. "

" "Don't you hand me that damn ball until I reach out and ask you for it. We're professionals out here. We've got another man coming in to do this job now, and we'll all damn well stand here together like a team and wait until he's on his way." "

" Great baseball book. If you are interested in either team or just baseball in general you will probably enjoy this book. "
