Every baseball fan has a favorite World Series memory - and this book is just packed with them. In celebration of the 100th year of the Fall Classic, the tension and catharsis, agony and joy of the World Series have finally been captured in book form. World Series: An Opinionated Chronicle takes a unique, innovative approach to make readers feel like they were sitting in the stands at each game - even the ones that took place before most of us were born. By interweaving his own strong point of view with the words of the players, managers, fans, and sportswriters who were there, Wallace has created a vivid - and highly illustrated - mosaic that restores the sights, sounds, and emotion to events that have become fogged by too many second-hand retellings.
