Summary

Going Yard includes everything you wanted to know about home runs, from the rise of Babe Ruth, whose prodigious power revolutionized the sport in the Roaring Twenties, to the most famous All-Star game and World Series round-trippers to up-close-and-personal profiles of the 500 home-run club - the men who have crashed the most homers in Major League history. Packed with statistics, photos, diagrams, and lists, this fun and fact-filled book will provide hours of entertainment and answers for all your round-tripper trivia questions.

Author Biography

Lew Freedman brings baseball's most famous home-run memories back to life: the Roger Maris-Mickey Mantle pursuit of Ruth's single-season record in 1961, the Mark Mcgwire-Sammy Sosa duel in 1998, Bill Mazeroski's blast to beat the Yankees in the 1960 Series, Joe Carter's World Series winner against the Phillies, and many more. Plus, slugger Frank Thomas-who hit 521 career homers-provides his own analysis and insight into the home run and its role in baseball.
