Bottom of the 33rd: Hope, Redemption, and Baseball's Longest Game

Time for baseball, so why not start with the best baseball book I have read since Jane Leavy’s excellent Sandy Koufax? Barry chronicles the longest game in baseball history, a 1981 minor league affair between the Pawtucket Red Sox and Rochester Red Wings (featuring a couple of young lads named Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken, Jr.). As long as the game may have been, I wish the book never ended. Great writing and fascinating story.
