The Red Sox and the Cincinnati Reds have endured an excruciating three-day rain delay. Tonight, at last, they will play Game Six of the World Series. Leading three games to two, Cincinnati hopes to win it all; Boston is desperate to stay alive. But for all the anticipation, nobody could have predicted what a classic it would turn out to be: an extra-innings thriller, created by one of the Big Red Machine's patented comebacks and the Red Sox's improbable late-inning rally; clutch hitting, heart-stopping defensive plays, and more twists and turns than a Grand Prix circuit, climaxed by one of the most famous home runs in baseball history that ended it in the twelfth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here are all the inside stories of some of that era's biggest names in sports: Johnny Bench, Luis Tiant, Sparky Anderson, Pete Rose, Carl Yastrzemski--eight Hall of Famers in all--as well as sportscasters and network execs, cameramen, umpires, groundskeepers, politicians, and fans who gathered in Fenway that extraordinary night. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This World Series marked the end of an era--baseball's reserve clause was about to be struck down, giving way to the birth of free agency, a watershed moment that changed American sports forever. With Mark Frost's skillful voice, the historical significance of \u003ci\u003eGame Six\u003c\/i\u003e becomes every bit as engrossing as its compelling human drama. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Hyperion","offers":[{"title":"Game Six: Cincinnati, Boston, and the 1975 World Series: The Triumph of America's Pastime | Mark Frost | Hardcover | 9781401323103 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks B 1778705","offer_id":49814861643928,"sku":"1778705","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Game Six: Cincinnati, Boston, and the 1975 World Series: The Triumph of America's Pastime | Mark Frost | Hardcover | 9781401323103 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks B 1778933","offer_id":49814869016728,"sku":"1778933","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61Yfx13oV5L.jpg?v=1788541760","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/game-six-cincinnati-boston-and-the-1975-world-series-the-triumph-of-americas-pastime","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
