Summary

The most popular and widely-read feature of Baseball Digest, the oldest monthly magazine devoted to our national pastime, has been The Game I'll Never Forget, a series of first-hand recollections by many of the game's greatest names of their most memorable experiences, as told to veteran baseball writer George Vass. Such Hall of Famers as Mickey Mantle, Tom Seaver, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Carl Yastrzemski, Ralph Kiner, Bill Veeck, and Duke Snider are included in fifty exciting, revealing, and informative stories collected together for the first time. These will undoubtedly appeal to the general reader as much as to devoted baseball fans, many of whom are sure to share the memories of specific games and incidents recounted by favorite players. Vass's "as-told-to" approach has enabled his subjects to tell, in their own words and in their unmistakable accents, their dramatic -- or occasionally humbling -- experiences on the diamond.
