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 BOOKS CO","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":67720870396194,"sku":"9781668227756-new","price":18.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9781668227756.jpg?v=1793865362","url":"https:\/\/www.albakireads.com\/products\/pafko-wall-prologue-underworld-9781668227756-new","provider":"AlbakiReads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
