New York Times Bestseller: Mets starting pitcher Ron Darling reflects on his role in the dramatic World Series tiebreaker in this candid personal memoir.
Every little kid who’s ever taken the mound in Little League dreams of someday getting the ball for Game Seven of the World Series. Ron Darling got to live that dream—only it didn’t go exactly as planned. In Game 7, 1986, the award-winning baseball analyst looks back at what might have been a signature moment in his career, and reflects on the ways professional athletes must sometimes shoulder a personal disappointment as their teams find a way to win.
Darling’s memoir breaks down one of baseball’s great “forgotten” games—a game that stands as a thrilling, telling, and tantalizing exclamation point to one of the best-remembered seasons in Major League Baseball history. Game 7, 1986 is a book for the thinking baseball fan, a chance to reflect on what it means to compete at the game’s highest level, with everything on the line.
“A departure from the typical sports narrative.” —New York Daily News
“What makes this book so interesting is how Darling puts the reader into his head as he stands on the mound in Game 7. ”—The Tampa Tribune
