A very fun book, with histories of the Royals and Yankees leading up to the game, the events that transpired during the game (and its continuation game), and what happened afterwards. Almost not enough about the game itself, but still a worthwhile read for any baseball fan.
Todd was born in Ohio on the same day former Indians manager Ossie Vitt passed away; he became a Reds fan seven years later, attended 'Johnny Bench Nite' at Riverfront Stadium in 1983, and gave up on professional baseball entirely during the 1994 baseball strike. Currently, he resides in Arizona, where SP78 Replay and tapes of televised games from the ‘70s and ‘80s are his last links to the sport that deserted him.
