Game Six
Cincinnati, Boston, and the 1975 World Series: The Triumph of America's Pastime

Leading three games to two, the Big Red Machine hoped to win it all, until Red Sox catcher Carlton Fisk smashed a dramatic extra-inning home run—one of the most famous home runs in baseball history. Veteran sportswriter Frost (The Match, 2007) pens a thrilling, pitch-by-pitch, inning-by-inning, behind-the-scenes account of the classic game and its aftermath.
