Veteran baseball writer John Kuenster recalls fifteen of the game's most
painful "disasters" of the last half-century and looks at them from the
losers' point of view. With a reporter's skill and a fan's enthusiasm,
he sets the scene for these memorable matchups, surveys the players who
led each team to the big moment, and tells the story of the game and the
emotions that can't be erased. "Kuenster has hit a Grand Slam."--Sparky
Anderson. "John Kuenster lets those who suffered baseball's most epic
defeats know that he feels their pain."--Bob Costas, NBC sports.
