Description

Mark Ribowsky (au). In baseball, there is no more thrilling moment than when, with a single crack of the bat, a hitter sends a ball screaming over the far wall, never to be seen again. This book takes a decade-by-decade look at the history of the homer as the ultimate symbol of power & conquest in sports. From the legends of baseball’s early days to the muscle-bound sluggers of the modern age, all the greatest swings are covered -- including Babe Ruth’s 60th; Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ‘Round the World”; Hank Aaron’s 715th; Mark McGwire & Sammy Sosa’s home run shootout; & Barry Bonds’ dubious record -- with hard-hitting commentary & statistics for each unforgettable player, their “greatest hits,” league & team stats, & much more!
