"The book ... is a departure from the typical sports narrative. You know--hero overcomes long odds, shines in big moment and the world swoons." -- Anthony McCarron, The New York Daily News "[Ron Darling's] new book is a reminder of the gulf that separates players from fans."-- Ian Crouch, The New Yorker "[Delivers] just what the title promises: a close analysis of one game, the night when Darling performed poorly but the Mets won the World Series anyway." -- New York Times "Ron Darling's new book offers insight into Game 7 of the 1986 World Series" -- SB Nation "What makes this book so interesting is how Darling puts the reader into his head as he stands on the mound in Game 7" -- Bob D'Angelo, The Tampa Tribune "These Mets saw themselves as a team of destiny, brimming with the necessary talent, killer instinct, arrogance, and even a certain selfishness to claw back the game Darling had almost given away. These hard-partying ballplayers proved, in Darling's words, 'too young, too full of ourselves' to be great for more than one season, wasting their gifts and a very real chance at a dynasty. But in '86, they were magic." -- Kirkus Reviews, "The book ... is a departure from the typical sports narrative.

Among them are enough oddities and thrilling turns of baseball to make a reader glad to be here and-well, not out there." - The New Yorker "Thoughtful and lively." - The New York Times Book Review "A winner." - New York Post, "The book ... is a departure from the typical sports narrative.
