Many books have been written about Major League Baseball's most famous games. This one takes a different approach, focusing on MLB's most historically significant games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Some will be familiar to baseball scholars, such as the October afternoon in 1961 when Roger Maris eclipsed Babe Ruth's single-season home run record, or the compelling sixth game of the 1975 World Series. Other fascinating games are less well known: the day at the Polo Grounds in 1921, when a fan named Reuben Berman filed a lawsuit against the New York Giants, winning fans the right to keep balls hit into the stands; the first televised broadcast of an MLB game in 1939; opening night of the Houston Astrodome in 1965, when spectators no longer had to be taken \u003ci\u003eout\u003c\/i\u003e to the ballgame; or the spectator-less April 2015 Orioles-White Sox game, played in an empty stadium in the wake of the Baltimore riots. Each game is listed in chronological order, with detailed historical background and a box score.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46477872693399,"sku":"9781476662268","price":3735.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476662268.jpg?v=1766291765","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-games-that-changed-baseball-milestones-in-major-league-history-9781476662268","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
