Experience a unique fan's-eye view of a night that many have called the most exciting night in the history of Major League Baseball. Going beyond a standard retelling of the balls and strikes and homers and webgems, the book hears from 20 fans in their own words. Loyal fans of the St. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, and Tampa Bay Rays provide exciting and deeply personal eyewitness accounts -- either from the stadiums or their living rooms. This critically acclaimed book is for casual and serious fans alike."This is a magical book about a magical night. This beautifully told story captures baseball at its very best." - Doris Kearns Goodwin

This is not your average travelogue. This is about one man's serendipitous trip to Iceland in January 2016. People asked, some indignant and puzzled, "Why Iceland?" The author lives in Syracuse, a land of its own ice and snow. The stock reply was: "Anyone can go south in the winter. I'm going north, way north. I want to find my true north." To paraphrase Martin Luther's famous "sin boldly" dictum, the author would travel boldly, by himself. This is a curious travelogue in that much of it - perhaps more than half of it - describes an Iceland of the mind. If you read further, you will get glimpses of a land of fire and ice. And of the author.
