GAME SIX Cincinnati, Boston, and the 1975 World Series: The Triumph of America's Pastime

Frost dissects the pivotal 1975 World Series game between Cincinnati and Boston, interspersing background material on those involved. Andrew Garman narrates with just the right tone: quietly dramatic, carefully critical. His subdued voice makes it seem like the listener is a fan at the game watching history take place. Great nuggets of trivia unfold along with wonderful stories. (Luis Tiant is an especially important focus.) Further, the author clearly analyzes the importance of the game's place in baseball history. Knowing the outcome doesn't matter—this well-researched and well-written book is amply entertaining. Garman is like a reliable pitcher who keeps fans engaged inning after inning. M.B. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2010]
