Publisher Marketing: On October 3, 1951, with one out in the bottom of the
ninth inning, in the final game of a best-of-three playoff series, Giants
third baseman Bobby Thomson crushed the ball to make the "shot heard round
the world."
But after clearing the left field wall, the ball itself disappeared. The
mystery of what happened to the legendary baseball has remained unsolved
for a half century--until now. "Miracle Ball" is the gripping account of
author Brian Biegel's five-year effort to unravel the mystery that experts
said could never be solved. Inspired by his own father's claim to
possessing the ball, Biegel becomes consumed with the quest, recognizing it
as the only chance to rescue himself from an emotionally devastating
personal crisis.
A sports story for the ages, an engrossing mystery narrative, and a moving
account of a man's unbreakable bond with his family and of his struggles to
save himself, "Miracle Ball "delivers both heart and headlines.
