The "compelling" New York Times bestseller by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, capturing the 1964 World Series between the Yankees and Cardinals (Newsweek).
David Halberstam, an avid sports writer with an investigative reporter's tenacity, superbly details the end of the fifteen-year reign of the New York Yankees in October 1964. That October found the Yankees going head-to-head with the St. Louis Cardinals for the World Series pennant. Expertly weaving the narrative threads of both teams' seasons, Halberstam brings the major personalities on the field -- from switch-hitter Mickey Mantle to pitcher Bob Gibson -- to life. Using the teams' subcultures, Halberstam also analyzes the cultural shifts of the sixties. The result is a unique blend of sports writing and cultural history as engrossing as it is insightful. This ebook features an extended biography of David Halberstam.
