Review of 'Game six' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A pitch-by-pitch account of Game Six, which is probably too much for the casual baseball fan. Around that the author weaves history of both teams, the world series, and most of the individual players.

After the outcome of this game, a chapter details the seventh game in much less detail. That is followed by the next few years, focused mostly on early free agency and the remaining careers of the major stars. This part lacks the passion of the earlier chapters.

Finished reading about the game itself exactly 43 years after it happened, then finished the book on October 22nd. Tomorrow sees the start of the 2018 world series, Red Sox vs Dodgers.
