In this book, award-winning sports columnist Bill Reynolds tells the story of the team and the players at this pivotal moment.

A fascinating book detailing the playoff game between the Red Sox and the Yankees in 1978 set against the backdrop of the busing crisis in Boston. The book alternates chapters between a description of the game (complete with history of the players and other major characters) and a history of the busing crisis as well as a sociological look at Boston in the 1970s. It was well written, interesting, and well paced. It needed more pictures and the end seemed slightly forced. I think it would be hard to write a decent ending to a story that everyone already knows how it ends. A good book to read after reading Game 6. (
