Home run. Round-tripper. Moon shot. Bomb. Whatever you call it, the long ball is the most thrilling hit in the game, "a moment of speed, power, drama, and elation like no other." From Bobby Thompson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World" to Mark McGwire's record-breaking number sixty-two, home runs have provided some of baseball's most memorable moments. Stories, stats, photos, and trivia trace the flight path of the long ball. Full-color illustrations. Index.
