Game Six
By Mark Frost

October 21, 1975 -- World Series/Game Six: The Night That Changed Baseball Forever

Mark Frost's newly released book, GAME SIX: Cincinnati, Boston, and the 1975 World Series: The Triumph of America's Pastime (Hyperion; September 22, 2009; $26.99; hardcover), has been described by Sports Illustrated as "rich reporting" and the New York Times as "illuminating (with) insider details."

As we approach the anniversary of Game Six and countdown to baseball playoffs, Frost can talk about how the game has changed over the years.  He has interviewed some of the biggest names in sports, baseball historians, sportscasters, network executives, and dozens of diehard baseball fans. GAME SIX is the first in-depth examination of what most experts almost unanimously agree was the greatest baseball game in history. This World Series marked the end of an era: Baseball's reserve clause was about to be struck down, giving way to the birth of free agency, a watershed moment that changed American sports forever.
