They have played in thousands of baseball games. They started as soon as they were old enough to swing a bat and throw a ball. They played on sandlots, in Little League, then high school, perhaps college, then at minor-league outposts from Durham to Dubuque. Finally, they made it to "the Show," and the lucky ones got to play on the biggest stage of all, the World Series. And each of them achieved success beyond his wildest dreams growing up, because each received the ultimate recognition and was elected to the National Baseball Museum and Hall of Fame in Cooper-stown, New York. But even a Hall of Famer, among the thousands of games he has played, has that one special game he'll never forget. That one game that stands out in his memory, whether he was six or 36, whether it was in front of 60,000 cheering fans or just a handful of parents, including his mom and dad. Take a walk down memory lane with these Hall of Famers as they share their memories of that one favorite game. From Red Schoendienst's first professional game, with butterflies causing error after error until the great Branch Rickey assured him that he'd be in the game for a long time and would likely make a few more errors--to Paul Molitor's rounding the bases in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, looking up into the stands to make eye contact with his father; the elder watching as the son scored the winning run for the Blue Jays on Joe Carter's Series-clinching three-run homer. From Bobby Doerr, the oldest living Hall of Famer, to Goose Gossage, the most recent Hall of Fame inductee, their memories are all here and told in poignant detail by the players themselves as they look back over the arc of their careers and recalltheir most memorable moments on the diamond. "Yogi Was Up with a Guy on Third..." is a book that will delight fans of all ages.
