Some ball players are remembered for their home runs and great plays -- but imagine being famous for blowing the game! People are still talking about Fred Snodgrass, who dropped a fly ball in 1912; Bill Buckner, first baseman for the Boston Red Sox, who should never have gotten out of bed on October 25, 1986; and poor Fred Merkle, who in his first game in the majors made the most famous mistake in baseball history. Offering play-by-play descriptions of the games, historical trivia, and lifetime statistics of key players, this book shows how life goes on even after the worst moments...and how a little mistake can sometimes make a very big difference!
