More About This Book

Overview

The crowd rose to its feet.

Carlton Fisk didn't run. He turned sideways and took three abbreviated hops down the first base line, wildly waving his arms at the ball like a kid in a Little League game, urging, willing, begging it to stay fair. Pete Rose turned and sprinted down the left field line, following the flight of the ball toward the pole, willing it to turn foul, and never saw Fisk's dance toward first. Tony Kubek stepped forward right into the Reds dugout, alongside Sparky and everyone else In the club, all of them craning their necks forward to keep the ball in sight.

Thirty-five thousand people locked in a suspended passage of time—less than four seconds by the clock . . .

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
For many fans, the dramatic sixth game of the 1975 World Series was the last golden moment of a now-vanished age. That 12-inning nail-biter spotlighted the talents of greats like Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Luis Tiant, Joe Morgan, and Carl Yastrzemski, in the last World Series played before the advent of free agency, which changed baseball forever. To write Game Six, author Mark Frost (The Match; The Greatest Game Ever Played) interviewed virtually every participant, allowing each to recapture the full human drama of this momentous diamond battle. A flood of memories about a watershed moment in baseball history.
Harvey Araton
Mark Frost's Game Six, the gripping story of the penultimate game of the 1975 World Series, does nothing to dispel the existential wonderfulness of Red Sox Nation, in addition to paying deserved homage to the winner of that Series, Cincinnati's Big Red Machine…no matter how historic the innings or how earnest the reporting, basing nearly an entire book on one game demands a deft storyteller's touch, the ability to capture individuals and explore issues while not straying too far from the field. Frost achieves this stylistically and…convincingly. For the sake of the baseball purist, he never cheats on the strategizing during Game 6 or the dramatic moments for which it is best remembered
—The New York Times

From The Critics
Many a diehard baseball fan could tell you how Game 6 of the 1975 World Series ended—with Boston catcher Carlton Fisk dramatically waving his extra-inning home run toward fair territory, and the pandemonium that soon followed. As for the other details, Frost (The Match) mentions them all in a wonderful tale about one of the sport's seminal events. Describing pitch by pitch and inning by inning, Frost breaks down the excitement on the field, but also how each participant came to play in the October thriller. Each player has a story—from Boston's star pitcher Luis Tiant and his humble beginnings, to Cincinnati's rugged, trash-talking third baseman, Pete Rose. From Yastrzemski to Bench, Evans to Morgan, Frost covers them all, along with the managers, owners and even broadcasters, expertly weaving from the past to that famous fall night. The last third of the work covers the aftermath of the game, recapping Cincinnati's eventual World Series win in Game 7 (an oft-forgotten fact about that series), and what became of each player in the years following. With each passing baseball season, “the number of people who would later claim to have been at Game Six would increase twenty-fold,” and thanks to Frost, the reader will likewise feel like he was in attendance at Fenway Park for that World Series classic. (Sept.)

    A Good Read for All Baseball Fans

    I planned on reading "Game Six" here recently in honor of the baseball postseason upon us, and it did the job. Mark Frost gives a good insight on what many consider the best game ever played in the best World Series ever played, arguably. The research and player insight is good and his outlining of the entire game is equally as good. While telling the story, he gives the reader a unique read and something I've never seen before in a book. What I mean is, it's kind of like watching a baseball game on TV then having the commentators give you a history on each player that comes to the plate while still giving the play by play. However, at times the book is a little choppy and the conclusion in the end is way to long. A little less about certain figures would of been okay with me. Still, the book leaves an impression on you the way Frost lays out the story and makes you appreciate the way baseball was in the 70's and how much you wish it was today.

    Great Book on Classic '75 Series

    This comes from a die-hard Yankee fan. I was 13 years old during the 1975 World Series, did not at all like the Big Red Machine and acutally rooted for the Sox to win. For all the great Yankee teams over the years, these two teams gave a thrilling World Series to all fans. Frost captures perfectly not only the game, but the players and their individual stories as well. It was a nostalgic read for me for sure, but made that much better because the author committed to providing a book as fine as that 1975 series deserved. Whether you are a fan of one of these teams, a baseball fan in general or just want to revisit this particular series - go out, buy the book and enjoy.

    Great Sports Book

    Mark Frost did an excellent job of writing this book. He gives enought background information on the players and baseball itself to help readers not familiar with baseball in the '70s to understand it. A great book for sports fans!
