Publisher's summary

Best-selling author Mark Frost takes listeners back to the 1975 World Series in this thrilling account of the greatest baseball game ever played. The Reds and Red Sox endured three soggy days of inactivity to reach game six. But all that downtime could not prepare them for what happened when the skies finally cleared.

Fantastic! A must for baseball fans...

Would you consider the audio edition of Game Six to be better than the print version?

N/a

Who was your favorite character and why?

The insight on Luis Tiant is well done...

Which character – as performed by Andrew Garman – was your favorite?

he doesnt "perform"

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I'm surprised there isnt a movie already...

Any additional comments?

This is a great and insightful book for baseball fans....there is SOOOOO much more to the story than you probably know or remember.

Horrible! Too much background info ! Never really focused on the game !

Too much side info I didn’t need to hear! Needed to focus on the game not the side stories so much

Good, but annoying

There's a lot of very interesting information involving the topic of the game and players and surrounding cast of media and front office, of the Red Sox at least. But, like in seemingly everything else, he has to add in sprinkles of political, liberal connotations. He even makes sure to add in an unfounded, unresearched dash of a regurgitated Al Stump lie about Ty Cobb. I could recommend the book, just be ready to roll your eyes every now and then.

Just Great

Watching this series as a kid means I missed a few things. The deeper meaning of the times. This book will fill a few of those in for you. But, I wish the narrator had known those times a little better as he massacred a few names and tried desperately to pronounce Latino words and people. Otherwise, a comforting and easily equaled uncomfortable story of the mistaken idea that the fans and the cities represented on their jerseys are the true arbiters of baseball.

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

What Baseball was Meant to Be

It's 3:00am and I've just finished Game Six. If you only read one baseball book in your life, let it be this one.

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.

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!
