| Abstract
|
:
|
"In 1973, baseball was in crisis. The first strike in pro sports had soured fans, American League attendance had fallen, and America's team--the Yankees--had lost more games and money than ever. Yet that season, five of the games's greatest figures rescued the nation pastime."--Back cover.
