Jackie Gleason is razzing Toots Shor in Leo Durocher's box seats; J. Edgar Hoover, basking in Sinatra's celebrity, is about to be told that the Russians have tested an atomic bomb; and Russ Hodges, raw-throated and excitable, announces the game -- the Giants and the Dodgers at the Polo Grounds in New York. DeLillo's transcendent account of one of the iconic events of the twentieth century is a masterpiece of American sportswriting.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142522028272,"sku":"9781439105443","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781439105443_p0.jpg?v=1763754959","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781439105443","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
