Praise for Game Six:
“A wonderful tale about one of the sport’s seminal events.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Great events in sports history provide fertile ground for narrative nonfiction, and Frost, also a talented novelist, uses his storytelling skills to great advantage here (as he has in three previous books about golf). Even fans who think they remember game six perfectly will be pleased to relive the key moments.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“It's an iconic image: Carlton Fisk waving fair the home run that won Game 6 of the 1975 World Series for Boston. But there was much more to that epic game, as Mark Frost (The Match) shows with rich reporting and a deft touch. He puts the Series in the context of a sport undergoing massive economic and demographic change, which made Game 6 a touchstone on and off the field.”
—Sports Illustrated
“Basing nearly an entire book on one game demands a deft storyteller’s touch, the ability to capture individuals and explore issues while not straying too far from the field. Frost achieves this stylistically and…convincingly.” —The New York Times Book Review
