Description

A 2014 CASEY Award finalist for the best baseball book of the year, The Fight of Their Lives is the story of baseball's most violent incident--August 22, 1965--when Giants pitcher Juan Marichal clobbered Dodgers catcher John Roseboro with his bat: the stories of the players, the American cultural backdrop, and the baseball competition and culture that led to the explosive moment, plus the incident's lasting effects.
