Walkoffs, Last Licks, and Final Outs is the definitive collection of baseball's grand--and not-so grand--final acts. It celebrates the moments that became instant classics--like Carlton Fisk waving fair his home run in the 1975 World Series--and memorializes those tragedies from baseball's ignominious lore--like Fred Merkle failing to touch second base and forcing a 1908 National League tiebreaker.
