Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"The home run is the single most dramatic moment in baseball. Often it has been the exclamation point that appears at the end of a game, a season, a playoff, or a World Series. For fans, certain images'such as that of Carlton Fisk urging his shot fair over Green Monster or of Kirk Gibson limping around the bases—are engraved in memory." - Westcott, Rich. Author. Great Home Runs of the 20th Century. Temple University Press. 27 April 2001. Dust Jacket.
