Thoroughly covers the legendary home run in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series, from spectators to players and officials to sportswriters to fans and films. Five appendices cover the source and other related material - did I say thorough?

An enjoyable read, as the author goes back and forth between the did and didn't camps, building evidence and keeping it interesting - this isn't a dry tome or pile of statistics. Interesting how the stories have some subtle differences (and some not-so-subtle). Documenting Ruth's public and private statements through the rest of his life is also very revealing.

Recommended for baseball fans, psychologists and trial lawyers.
