Describes how baseball reached its nadir in the late 1960s and how it survived and began its slow comeback. The lack of offense in the game is examined, taking in the great pitching performances of Denny McLain, Bob Gibson, Don Drysdale and others. Colourful characters like Charley Finley and Ken Harrelson are covered, along with the effects dramatic changes in American society and the war in Vietnam had on the game.
