Descripción - Críticas '[A] masterpiece...destined for the Hall of Fame of baseball books.'---Publisher's Weekly'[An] heroic conjuring of the past.'---New York Times Book Review'An astonishing tale that lyrically articulates baseball's inexorable grip on its players and fans, Bottom of the 33rd belongs among the best baseball books ever written.'---Cleveland Plain Dealer'Dan's Barry's meticulous reporting and literary talent are both evident in Bottom of the 33rd, a pitch-perfect and seamless meditation on baseball and the human condition.'---Gay Talese'Brilliantly rendered...The book is both a fount of luxurious writing and a tour-de-force of reportage.'---Washington Post'Meticulously researched and tremendously entertaining!'---Columbus Dispatch'A fascinating, beautifully told story...

He blends a vivid, moment-by-moment re-creation of the game with what happens to its participants in the next 30 years.'---Stefan Fatsis, New York Times'What a book -- an exquisite exercise in story-telling, democracy and myth-making that has, at its center, a great respect for the symphony of voices that make up America.'---Colum McCann'Whether you're a baseball aficionado or a reader who just enjoys a good yarn, you'll love this book.'---Minneapolis Star Tribune Reseña del editor Details the longest game in baseball history, a grueling minor-league matchup between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings that lasted more than eight hours, with the last of the thirty-three innings being postponed until two months later. Contraportada On April 18, 1981, a ball game sprang eternal. For eight hours, the night seemed to suspend a town and two teams between their collective pasts and futures, between their collective sorrows and joys—the shivering fans; their wives at home; the umpires; the batboys approaching manhood; the ejected manager, peering through a hole in the backstop; the sportswriters and broadcasters; and the players themselves—two destined for the Hall of Fame (Cal Ripken and Wade Boggs), the few to play only briefly or forgettably in the big leagues, and the many stuck in minor-league purgatory, duty bound and loyal forever to the game.With Bottom of the 33rd, celebrated New York Times journalist Dan Barry delivers a lyrical meditation on small-town lives, minor-league dreams, and the elements of time and community that conspired one fateful night to produce a baseball game seemingly without end. An unforgettable portrait of ambition and endurance,Bottom of the 33rd is the rare sports book that changes the way we perceive America’s pastime—and America’s past. Biografía del autor Dan Barry is a reporter and columnist for the New York Times. In 1994 he was part of an investigative team at the Providence Journal that won the Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles on Rhode Island's justice system. He is the author of a memoir, a collection of his About New York columns, and Bottom of the 33rd, for which he won the 2012 PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing.
