It was the summer of 1975. In one of the best baseball games ever played, Carlton Fisk had just hit a home run to win game six of the World Series for the Boston Red Sox. At the same time, and a half a world away, North Vietnamese forces captured Saigon and finally ended the Vietnam War. It was a summer in which America's favorite past time and America's history were inextricably linked. There are more summers like that of 1975. In The Seasons, bestselling author Bill Gilbert explores them and the heart and mind of a nation's people. Featuring reflections from Dom DiMaggio, Duke Snider, Bob Feller, Ted Williams, Brooks Robinson and more, The Seasons tells the incredible story of how America's favorite sport merged forever with America's social history; its greatest achievements, as well as some of its darkest hours. From the 1940s to the present, these unforgettable years include: -- 1951 -- During Bobby Thomson's "shot heard round the world, " others are ringing out in Korea -- 1961 -- Roger Mari and Mickey Mantle chase Babe Ruth's record as overnight the Communists in East Germany build the Berlin Wall -- 1969 -- The Year of the Amazin' Mets and the first walk on the moon -- 2001 -- As Barry Bonds chases the home run record of Mark McGwire and Hank Aaron, the worst terrorist attack on American soil is being carried out while hijacked airliners crash into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
