The Official History of Baseball Vol 12 (1994)

There is no professional sport with a history quite like baseball We may recall great moments from other sports but rarely are they remembered as an integral part of our lives as is baseball Ask a Pittsburgh fan where he was for Bill Mazeroskis home run Mention Bucky Dent to a New Yorker or Bill Buckner to a resident of Boston Is there a Toronto fan alive who wasnt jumping just as high as Joe Carter in 1993 Baseball is passed down from one generation to another in a patient process that in some ways never ends Its been this way for more than a century and will undoubtedly continue for generations to come Contained herein are the most memorable moments from baseballs first 125 years each moment guaranteed to kindle a reminder of a special time a special place Thats what baseball is all about
