Baseball fans witnessed one of sport's most spectacular comebacks, and Boston's National League team earned a new designation: ?he Miracle Braves.?Full of timeless images and memorable characters?ncluding a fanatically superstitious manager, a cheerfully madcap star, and an obsessively driven, yet highly sensitive captain?his book will inform and entertain baseball fans and sports historians alike.
