The Unforgettable Season
Book • 2023
The 1908 National League pennant race was the most exciting and dramatic in baseball history, with the New York Giants, Chicago Cubs, and Pittsburgh Pirates battling closely until the end, separated by just one game.
The book uses judiciously selected newspaper accounts to relive the season through the eyes of sportswriters, featuring legends like John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance, Three Finger Brown, Honus Wagner, and the infamous Fred Merkle blunder that sparked a near-riot.
