"Bottom of the 33rd"

A book about the longest game in baseball history. It may sound a bit off putting. But this is a fascinating book that really grabs you. You don't need to be a baseball fanatic to appreciate it. The writing is absolutely poetic. And the narrative isn't just a recount of the game; the author has a ton of asides as the game unfolds. From the history of the town, the team, and the backgrounds and futures of the players for both teams. His writing style is beautiful. And what I really appreciate, is a writer who know s how to use the word "myriad" properly.
