Description: Moments in the Sun : Baseball's Briefly Famous, Paperback by McGuire, Mark; Gormley, Michael Sean, ISBN 078640549X, ISBN-13 9780786405497, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Baseball’s ranks are filled with those whose careers may not have been as spectacular as Ruth or Mays but who played essential roles in the game’s history, like footnotes in a great book. Some were well known in their day, featured on the front of the sports section; others were lesser lights whose feats and misdeeds were so notable they deserve to be remembered. Bert Shepard pitched a game for the Washington Senators in 1945 despite being shot down over Germany the year before and losing a leg. Bernie Carbo hit a dramatic three-run homer in the eighth inning to tie Game Six of the 1975 World Series—but his blast was completely upstaged an hour or so later by Red Sox teammate Carlton Fisk’s unforgettable shot down the left field line. Bo Belinsky no-hit the powerful Baltimore Orioles in 1962, but he finished his career with a monumentally disappointing 28–51 record. The 39 other subjects profiled in this work prove that, in baseball, fame can be fleeting.
