"From splitters to spitters; from a frozen rope to the suicide squeeze; from extra innings to no hitters, baseball is truly a great game. But nothing hypes up a crowd like a home run, a round tripper, a big bomb . . . the long ball! Hitting the ball out of the park is one of the greatest feats in baseball, and doing so in the clutch can make an average player a hero overnight. In Dingers, authors Joshua Shifrin and Tom Shea break down the 101 most memorable home runs in baseball history, telling their stories and how they affected the game of baseball. Whether its The Shot Heard Round the World or Hank Aarons 715th blast, readers will get an inside scoop on some of the most famous moments that now live in baseball lore... Dingers is for baseball fans young and old. Relive the moments you cherish to the ones you've only heard tales about."--Page [2] of book jacket.
