Gibson shares his insights into every player that stepped into the batter's box against him that day--recounting in ... detail the pitches he threw, his control over the ball, and his moments of synchronicity with catcher and friend Tim McCarver. This iconic game and all its players come to life on the page as Gibson gives a behind-the-scenes look at the way he played the game, his relationships with teammates, coaches, and opponents, and their lives on and off the field"--
