Boston, Tuesday, October 21, 1975. The Red Sox and the Cincinnati Reds have endured an excruciating threeday rain delay. Tonight, at last, they will play Game Six of the World Series. Leading three games to two, Cincinnati hopes to win it all; Boston is desperate to stay alive. But for all the anticipation, nobody could have predicted what a classic it would turn out to be: an extrainnings thriller, created by one of the Big Red Machine s patented comebacks and the Red Sox s improbable lateinning rally; clutch hitting, heartstopping defensive plays, and more twists and turns than a Grand Prix circuit, climaxed by one of the most famous home runs in baseball history that ended it in the twelfth.Here are all the inside stories of some of that era s biggest names in sports: Johnny Bench, Luis Tiant, Sparky Anderson, Pete Rose, Carl Yastrzemskieight Hall of Famers in allas well as sportscasters and network execs, cameramen, umpires, groundskeepers, politicians, and fans who gathered in Fenway that extraordinary night.Game Six is an unprecedented behindthescenes look at what is considered by many to be the greatest baseball game ever playedremarkable also because it was about so much more than just balls and strikes. This World Series marked the end of an era; baseball s reserve clause was about to be struck down, giving way to the birth of free agency, a watershed moment that changed American sports forever. In bestselling author Mark Frost s talented hands, the historical significance of Game Six becomes every bit as engrossing as its compelling human drama.
