Summary:
The year was 1949, and a war-weary nation turned from the battlefields to the ball fields in search of new heroes. It was a
summer
that marked the beginning of a sports
rivalry
unequaled in the annals of athletic competition. The awesome New York
Yankees
and the indomitable Boston
Red
Sox
were fighting for supremacy of
baseball
's American League, and an aging Joe DiMaggio and a brash, headstrong hitting phenomenon named Ted Williams led their respective teams in a
classic
pennant duel of almost mythic proportions
--
one that would be decided in an explosive head-to-head confrontation on the last day of the
season
. David Halberstam, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, has chronicled the social, political, and athletic life of America in such bestselling books as The Fifties, The Best and the Brightest, and The Amateurs. He lives in New York.
