als the excitement and intensity of the World Series. In Shadows of Glory, Dave Brown and Jeff Rodimer recount 18 lesser-known but fascinating stories about the Fall Classic, that range from heartwarming and heartbreaking to amusing and outrageous. Get ready to read about:

  • The unheralded pitcher who carried a no-hitter into the ninth inning
  • The umpire who received death threats after making a bad call at first base
  • The key role that shoe polish played in the outcomes of two different Series
  • The player who left the stadium mid-game to drive his pregnant wife to the hospital

Shadows of Glory features memorable and offbeat stories about World Series spanning from 1918, when World War I, the Spanish Flu, and Babe Ruth intersected, to 2016 when the Chicago Cubs broke a century-long drought to capture the Series.

The history of the World Series is long, glorious, and nuanced, and baseball fans will be captivated by the stories brought back to life in Shadows of Glory.
