Book Preview

I just noticed there's a new book out, Bottom of the 33rd:

Journalist Dan Barry takes us inside the longest baseball game in history. It started at dusk on April 18, 1981, Holy Saturday, and continued through eight hours and 33 innings. This legendary minor-league game, played between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings, and the lives and dreams of the participants involved is brought lyrically to life.

I remember reading a really long article about this in Sports Illustrated when I was a kid; I remember thinking it was fiction.  I wonder if this is the same guy that wrote that, and just expanded it into a book three decades later?

Hey, maybe that means I'm that much closer to finding that coveted Hoosier Hysteria article from 1983!
