The Red Sox and the Cincinnati Reds have endured an excruciating three-day rain delay. Tonight, at last, they will play Game Six of the World Series. Leading three games to two, Cincinnati hopes to win it all; Boston is desperate to stay alive. But for all the anticipation, nobody could have predicted what a classic it would turn out to be: an extra-innings thriller, created by one of the Big Red Machine's patented comebacks and the Red Sox's improbable late-inning rally; clutch hitting, heart-stopping defensive plays, and more twists and turns than a Grand Prix circuit, climaxed by one of the most famous home runs in baseball history that ended it in the twelfth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here are all the inside stories of some of that era's biggest names in sports: Johnny Bench, Luis Tiant, Sparky Anderson, Pete Rose, Carl Yastrzemski--eight Hall of Famers in all--as well as sportscasters and network execs, cameramen, umpires, groundskeepers, politicians, and fans who gathered in Fenway that extraordinary night. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This World Series marked the end of an era--baseball's reserve clause was about to be struck down, giving way to the birth of free agency, a watershed moment that changed American sports forever. With Mark Frost's skillful voice, the historical significance of \u003ci\u003eGame Six\u003c\/i\u003e becomes every bit as engrossing as its compelling human drama. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Frost\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eThe Greatest Game Ever Played, The Grand Slam\u003c\/i\u003e, and the bestselling \u003ci\u003eThe List of 7, The 6 Messiahs\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBefore I Wake\u003c\/i\u003e.
