MY FAVORITE BASEBALL BOOK EVER...

I have read this through twice. and listened to it faithfully on Audible 4 times, and I will listen to it time and again. A MUST for every pure MLB Fan who mourns the big and small market teams of today, HRs, exit velocity, pitch counts, and way too many strikeouts, and it's lack of pure joy the game gives today.

1975 was a time when Sparky, Pete, JB, Doggie, Little Joe and my Big Red Machine ruled MLB, along with Pudge, Yaz, Carbo, Evans, and El Tiante - a true Golden Age of Baseball, and the incredible 1975 World Series - A true masterpiece! A+ grades all around, and well worth your time!

A story that no Hollywood screenwriter could write

Before I began listening to Mark Frost's Game 6, I wondered how your could write an entire book about one game, when I finished, just this afternoon, I knew. Game 6 of the 1975 world series, a game I remember watching on TV, held some of the great players and some of the great back stories in baseball. Andrew Garman was the perfect naratory for this book, with a quality that baseball stories require, his voice had that cadence that let's you savor the story and feel the history. Frost weaves the story expertly to keep your interest, going from the games action to the players story and back again, never boring the listener. I found myself checking out some of the highlights of this game on YouTube but coming away disappointed. The book, and it's detailed story were so much better then the video footage. For any baseball fan, this is a must listen.

Heartfelt, Transcendent & Insightful

One of the best baseball books I've read, Frost brings each player to life while calling play by play, truly gifted writing.

Like re-living the real thing

I watched game 6 of the 1975 World Series on TV. I was a teen and a Giants fan (so I had to hate the Reds) and that game was perhaps the greatest games I have ever seen -- except when the Giants did win the World Series ; ). I loved all the back stories, especially for the Boston players since I did not know them. A MUST for any baseball fan.

Great Memories

A great story about a great series. As a life long Reds fan this was a beautiful reminder of a simpler time. It was great to hear names of past players and be reminded of heroes past
