Bottom of the 33rd: Hope, Redemption, and Baseball’s Longest Game

?Bottom of the 33rd is chaw-chewing, sunflower-spitting, pine tar proof that too much baseball is never enough.? ?Jane Leavy, author of The Last Boy and Sandy Koufax�

?What a book?an exquisite exercise in story-telling, democracy and myth-making.? ?Colum McCann, winner of the National Book Award for� Let The Great World Spin�

From Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Dan Barry comes the beautifully recounted story of the longest game in baseball history?a tale celebrating not only the robust intensity of baseball, but the aspirational ideal epitomized by the hard-fighting players of the minor leagues. In the tradition of Moneyball, The Last Hero, and Wicked Good Year, Barry?s Bottom of the 33^rdis a reaffirming story of the American Dream finding its greatest expression in timeless contests of the Great American Pastime.
