Just finished reading Bottom of the 33rd, by Dan Barry. A wonderful telling of the longest baseball game in base ball history, a 1981 contest between 2 AAA teams - the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings, whose rosters included many future stars, Wade Boggs and Cal Ripken among them. I highly recommend it.

You are correct, a great book. I have also purchased the audio.
the author "paints" a picture with his descriptive words and background story's of the Minor League "vagabonds".

I'm in the middle of Francona - The Red Sox years. So, far it is pretty darn good despite Dan Shaunessy co-authoring the book. Shaunessy is a tool. I'm finding Francona's approach and some of the internal chemistry/politics to be interesting. He definitely had some challenges with Manny, and Pedro. He is the kind of manager you want to work for.
