Publication Date: September 2009
Publisher: NAL Hardcover
Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series between the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers remains the only no-hit game in World Series history and was described by The New York Times as "the greatest moment" in World Series history.
Drawing upon oral histories, contemporaneous articles, and dozens of interviews with commentators and players (including all of the surviving players for the Dodgers and Yankees), Lew Paper brings that extraordinary event to life with a pitch-by-pitch narrative that incorporates profiles of the 19 players who were on the field that day, including Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, and Roy Campanella. You will understand their backgrounds, their hopes, and their heartaches - and, most important, share the incredible tension they experienced on that unforgettable day in Yankee Stadium.
More than just a story about a single game, Perfect is a window into baseball's glorious past.

Publication Date: April 1992
Few baseball lovers will dispute the contention of Dallas Morning News sportswriter Miller that the American League pennant race of 1967 was the most memorable ever. Four teams stayed in the battle for the flag throughout the season and into the last weeks; at a point all had identical records, prompting one of the best sports headlines of all time: "Baseball Tie Is a Four-in-Hand." Finally, the weak-hitting Chicago team was mathematically eliminated and, on the season's last day, Boston edged out Detroit and Minnesota by one game, inspired by the astounding play of outfielder Carl Yastrzemski. If not a graceful writer, Miller is a dogged one, and his fact-packed account of the race is remarkably thorough.
