{"product_id":"book-d1te","title":"Ten Innings at Wrigley","description":"It was a Thursday at Chicago's Wrigley Field, mostly sunny with the wind blowing out. Nobody expected an afternoon game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs on May 17, 1979, to be much more than a lazy early-season contest matching two teams heading in opposite directions—the first-place Phillies and the Cubs, those lovable losers—until they combined for thirteen runs in the first inning. \"The craziest game ever,\" one player called it. \"And then the second inning started.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTen Innings at Wrigley\u003c\/i\u003e is Kevin Cook's vivid account of a game that could only have happened at this ballpark, in this era, with this colorful cast of heroes and heels: Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt and Bruce Sutter, surly slugger Dave Kingman, hustler Pete Rose, unlucky Bill Buckner, scarred Vietnam vet Garry Maddox, troubled relief pitcher Donnie Moore, clubhouse jester Tug McGraw, and two managers pulling out what was left of their hair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was the highest-scoring ballgame in a century, and much more than that. Bringing to life the run-up and aftermath of a contest the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e called \"the wildest in modern history,\" Cook reveals the human stories behind the game—and how money, muscles and modern statistics were about to change baseball forever.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49377246642480,"sku":"BDd1te","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49377246675248,"sku":"ZEd1te","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49377246708016,"sku":"ZMd1te","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49377246740784,"sku":"40d1te","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/d1te-Square-cover.jpg?v=1779214702","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-d1te","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
