Why We Love Baseball

This masterful countdown of 50 of the most memorable episodes in baseball's history will make you fall in love with the sport all over again ? or indeed for the very first time. No.1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Posnanski writes of major moments that created legends ? Babe Ruth's called shot, Kirk Gibson's limping home run ? alongside those raw with the humanity of the game: the unheralded heroes, the mesmerising mistakes. These are moments so powerful they feel like myth ? even to a Brit raised on googlies, leg-slips and silly mid offs. Widely acclaimed on first UK publication last year, this smart new edition ties in with Posnanski's bestselling Why We Love American Football. AUTHOR: Joe Posnanski is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of six books, including The Baseball 100, Paterno and The Secret of Golf. He has been named Na?tional Sportswriter of the Year by five different organizations. He writes at JoePosnanski.com and currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with his family.
