Reviews"The most underrated great World Series is finally getting its due...brilliantly [brought] to life by Tim Wendel."--Claire Smith, award-winning ESPN news editor "Just when you think you've seen everything, read everything, along comes a book and an author in whose gifted hands the past comes alive and makes you believe in miracles all over again."--Jane Leavy, author of The Last Boy "Tim Wendel, a great baseball writer and historian, relives the only time that two last-place teams rebounded the next year to play for the championship."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune "The reader is in for a treat. Down to the Last Pitch is Wendel at his best."-- Tampa Tribune "[A] classic tale of an authentic Fall Classic"-- Charleston Post and Courier "This is a winner."-- San Francisco Book Review Hudson Valley News , 6/29/15 "A fine new book...for the baseball fan." Internet Review of Books, 8/22/15 "If you are...a grown-up kid who still has his old infielder's mitt and prefers to listen to Vin Scully on the radio, Down to the Last Pitch will delight you. It's like sitting in the dugout while the players shoot the breeze...This is a book about the 1991 World Series between the Braves and Twins, maybe the most exciting, and certainly closest, World Series ever played, and Wendel gives it to us inning by inning, out by out...Everybody knows the series went seven games, everybody remembers who won, almost every fan knows four games went extra innings. But somehow Wendel keeps it fresh and exciting...A hell of a book.", "The most underrated great World Series is finally getting its due...brilliantly [brought] to life by Tim Wendel."--Claire Smith, award-winning ESPN news editor "Just when you think you've seen everything, read everything, along comes a book and an author in whose gifted hands the past comes alive and makes you believe in miracles all over again."--Jane Leavy, author of The Last Boy "Tim Wendel, a great baseball writer and historian, relives the only time that two last-place teams rebounded the next year to play for the championship."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune "The reader is in for a treat.

SynopsisNever in baseball history had a team ranked last rebounded to take the pennant the following season. Yet in 1991 lightning struck twice as the Minnesota Twins and the Atlanta Braves, a pair of cellar dwellers the year before, faced each other in an unforgettable World Series. When the final out was recorded, the cover headline in Baseball Weekly read: "Best World Series Ever.", Never in baseball history had a team ranked last rebounded to take the pennant the following season. Yet in 1991 lightning struck twice as the Minnesota Twins and the Atlanta Braves, a pair of cellar dwellers the year before, faced each other in an unforgettable World Series.
