Description
Through the minute-by-minute unfolding of a single baseball game played in June 1982, this insightful work reveals the strategy, tension, and human drama hidden within an apparently ordinary contest. Daniel Okrent examines the decisions of players, managers, umpires, and spectators, showing how statistics, psychology, tradition, and split-second choices converge on the diamond. Part sports narrative and part cultural analysis, the book offers both seasoned fans and newcomers a deeper appreciation for baseball’s intricate rhythms and enduring appeal.
