Going, Going, Gone...
The History, Lore, and Mystique of the Home Run
From Babe Ruth to Mark McGwire
Edited Brian Silverman
Baseball – our national pastime. The home run: our deepest passion
electrified. The long ball is the stuff of myths and legends: from the
emergence of the Bunyanesque figure named Babe Ruth at the dawn of the 20th
century, to the tremendous displays of power by two modern players, Mark
McGwire and Sammy Sosa., as they battle for the coveted home run record at
the close of the century. A Major League Baseball production, well
illustrated with photos B&W, sepia and color.
HarperResource/HarperCollins, New York, 2000, First Edition, 167 pages, 9 ¼”
x 12 ¼”, brown boards with black spine and copper lettering, dust jacket,
illustrated.
