Description

The 1989 World Series will be remembered for two contrasting events: the devastating earthquake that struck moments before Game 3 and the thrilling baseball matches between the San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics. Gary Peterson's history of this season combines his firsthand observations with meticulous research, offering a fresh perspective on that unforgettable year. In "Battle of the Bay", Peterson explores the highs and lows of the 1989 season, from the emotional return to the mound by Dave Dravecky after cancer surgery to highlight-reel performances by Will Clark, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco, and Rickey Henderson. The book also delves into the aftermath of the earthquake, including the heroic actions of players like Dave Stewart. Peterson's unique blend of firsthand experience and research provides a compelling account of this pivotal moment in baseball history.
