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

€œBottom 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 

€œWhat 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^rd is a reaffirming story of the American Dream finding its greatest expression in timeless contests of the Great American Pastime.
