From splitters to spitters; from a frozen rope to the suicide squeeze;
from extra innings to no hitters, baseball is truly a great game. But
nothing hypes up a crowd like a home run, a round tripper, a big bomb .
. . the long ball! Hitting the ball out of the park is one of the
greatest feats in baseball, and doing so in the clutch can make an
average player a hero overnight.
In Dingers, authors Joshua Shifrin and Tom Shea break down the 101
most memorable home runs in baseball history, telling their stories and
how they affected the game of baseball. Whether it's "The Shot Heard
'Round the World" or Hank Aaron's 715th blast, readers will get an
inside scoop on some of the most famous moments that now live in
baseball lore.
Whether you were there when Reggie Jackson hit three-straight home runs
in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series, watched Joe Carter's 1993 World
Series-winning home run live, or have seen highlights from Bill
Mazeroski's memorable shot in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, Dingers
is for baseball fans young and old. Relive the moments you cherish to
the ones you've only heard tales about.
