A moment in time.    It's rare for a person to remember exactly where he or she was  at a single moment in time, some four decades past. It's rarer  still for an entire nation to hold a collective memory of such a  moment. This kind of hardwired retention usually results from  group trauma - the shock of assassination, large scale tragedy,  or natural disaster.    Occasionally, the event that galvanizes a population is a happy one. Such was the case when Paul Henderson scored the memorable goal in '72, that won the game and united Canada.    Includes foreword from Don Cherry with stories from Peter Mansbridge, Bob Cole, Howie Meeker, Darryl Sittler, Blue Rodeo, Denis Brodeur and Johnny Bower to name a few.

Baseball Hall of Famer Ted Williams is probably the greatest hitter who ever lived, yet he is much more. He is a man who fought for his country in World War II and Korea, and a man who spoke up eloquently for the induction of blacks to the Hall of Fame before it was popular to do so. Ted Williams: A Tribute pays unique homage to a man whose impact transcends the sport. Color photos.

Using statistical information and his personal expertise, Williams provides insights not only into the careers of those that he considers to be the all-time greats, but also the rising stars of baseball.Included with Williams' thoughts are photographs, many never published before, of the greatest hitters of all time, including the Splendid Splinter himself. For fans of all ages, Ted Williams' Hit List offers a glimpse into the glorious past of the sport and serves as a reminder of all that is still great about the "Great American Pastime.
