Ten Innings at Wrigley: The Wildest Ballgame Ever, with Baseball on the Brink by Kevin Cook
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sometimes a sports book can be the most entertaining and educational book of the year! Author Kevin Cook fills in the details leading up to this classic game between the Cubs and the Phillies, with some great history to set the stage. The game itself was a classic battle (that's an understatement), that brought together two teams with interesting legacies, some great, some not so great. A number of players involved would leave their own personal legacies, and the latter part of the book, following the 10 innings of play-by-play, covers the fascinating stories, these including Dave (Kong) Kingman and the late, great Bill Buckner. Highly recommend!
