We tend to remember heartbreaks more vividly than triumphs. Here, Kuenster, editor of that library magazine staple, Baseball Digest, tells the inside story of some great upsets. He deftly includes two teams synonymous with heartbreak: the Boston Red Sox (featuring their near-triumphs of 1975, 1978, and 1986) and the Chicago Cubs (emphasizing their 1969 and 1984 immolations). Kuenster is a great storyteller who relates 15 tales in a captivating and insightful way. True baseball aficionados will enjoy.
