Synopsis
Veteran baseball writer John Kuenster recalls fifteen of the game's most painful disasters of the last half-century and looks at them from the losers' point of view.

Kuenster has hit a Grand Slam. -Sparky Anderson. John Kuenster lets those who suffered baseball's most epic defeats know that he feels their pain. -Bob Costas, NBC sports. Illustrated.

Reviews
We tend to remember heartbreaks more vividly than triumphs. Here, Kuenster, editor of that library magazine staple, Baseball Digest, tells the inside story of some great upsets. He deftly includes two teams synonymous with heartbreak: the Boston Red Sox (featuring their near-triumphs of 1975, 1978, and 1986) and the Chicago Cubs (emphasizing their 1969 and 1984 immolations). Kuenster is a great storyteller who relates 15 tales in a captivating and insightful way. True baseball aficionados will enjoy.
