Baseball's 50 Greatest Games
Baseball's 50 Greatest Games by Lowell Reidenbaugh was published by The Sporting News in 1986 when they were publishing several similar baseball's greatest books. Instead of ranking the games from 1-50, it ranks the 20 most memorable (ex. Harvey Haddix's 12-inning perfecto, Gabby Hartnett's Homer in the gloamin'), the 20 top performances (ex. Hank Aaron's 715th homer, Tony Cloninger hitting two grand slams) and the 10 most significant (ex. Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier, the first televised game). Each game is described in detail, with a box score enclosed.
