What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

For more than a century, the World Series has captivated baseball fans. From Babe Ruth’s Called Shot in 1932 and Reggie Jackson’s three-in-a-row home runs in 1977, to the “reverse the curse” wins by Boston in 2004 and Chicago in 2005–this action-packed volume is sure to please. Quotes from the star athletes, photos of the best plays, and a complete list of results since the first series in 1903 round out the book that young baseball fans will find is an out-of-the park home run!
