Baseball's Greatest Series: Yankees, Mariners, and the 1995 Matchup That Changed History Copertina rigida – 15 gennaio 2010
Opzioni di acquisto e componenti aggiuntivi
This division series was not simply about two teams playing five postseason games. It was about Ken Griffey Jr., Lou Piniella, Buck Showalter, Gene Michael, Jim Leyritz, Randy Johnson, Wade Boggs, Tony Fernandez, Pat Kelly, Dion James, Darryl Strawberryùand many others who changed the course of baseball history . . .
A team playing to keep baseball alive in the Pacific Northwest
A manager who was literally managing for his job
A New York sports icon who for one week reminded everybody of the dominating player he had been a decade earlier
Chris Donnelly's replay of this entire season reminds readers that it was a time when grown men cried their eyes out after defeat, and others, just a few hundred feet away, poured beer and champagne over one another while 57,000 people in Seattle's Kingdome celebrated. Five games they were. Five games that reminded people, after the devastating players' strike in 1994, how great a game baseball is because comebacks are always possible, no matter how great the obstacles may seem.
From Don Mattingly's only postseason home run, which caused a near riot, to Edgar Martinez's legendary eleventh inning series-clinching double, Donnelly chronicles the earlier struggles of both teams during the 1980s, their mid-1990s resurgence, all five heart-stopping games of the series, and the dramatic and long-lasting effects of Seattle's victory. Simply stated, Baseball's Greatest Series
hits a home run.

The only complaint I have is the uneven treatment the two teams receive in the book. The author claims from the beginning that he is a Yankees fan, and this is very evident throughout the book. All the umpire calls that favored the Mariners are spelled out in detail, but there is very little reciprocal treatment for calls favoring the Yankees. Moreover, there are numerous mentions of instances where the Yankees would have won "if this bounce had been two inches over. . ." (for example). An equal, objective approach would have made this a better book. It is good to point out how evenly matched the teams were, and how close the series was, but the clear favoritism for the Yankees detracts from the rest of the book. Despite this, the book was still a good read. The author does explain how good the series was; he acknowledges the talent of the Mariners, and what the win meant for the Mariner franchise. All told, this was a good book. I recommend it.
"If you met Luis Sojo on the street, you’d never have guessed he was an athlete. His doughy physique didn’t fit that of a major leaguer and though only thirty years old, Sojo took constant ribbing from his teammates for his seemingly aged appearance. “'Rumor had it that Luis was collecting a pension his rookie year,'” joked teammate Chris Bosio. Sojo took this kind of ribbing all in stride, and he had an ever-present smile on his face. Despite the cracks about age and appearance, Sojo was an exceptional athlete with a knack for coming through in big situations. Now, he was in the biggest situation of his career: bases loaded, two outs in the seventh inning of a one-game playoff.” Highly recommended.
