The companion piece to his baseball classic The Long Season, Mr. Brosnan's Pennant Race recounts the game-by-game lives of the Cincinnati Reds during their pennant-winning 1961 season. He was a pitcher with Cincinnati that season, but also one of the sharpest and wittiest writers baseball ever produced. One of the best baseball books ever written...probably one of the best American diaries as well. --New York Times Book Review
...A journal of the Reds' improbable march to the 1961 National League Championship.
