October is baseball's greatest month, the month when legends are born, memories are forged, and champions are crowned, and October 2012 was certainly no different. In "31 Days in October - A Memoir of the 2012 Major League Baseball Postseason", author Sal Maiorana recounts the drama, the excitement, and the stories of perseverance and achievement that provided a compelling conclusion to the 2012 season.
During this 31-day journey, Maiorana takes an in-depth look at each day's most notable event.Miguel Cabrera's securing of the Triple Crown; the return of playoff baseball to the nation's capital; Derek Jeter's season-ending broken ankle in the ALCS; the benching of Alex Rodriguez; the epic offensive malfunction of the Yankees; the brilliance of Justin Verlander; the Giants remarkable run of staving off elimination; Pablo Sandoval's historic three-homer performance in Game 1 of the World Series; and the Giants impressively efficient sweep of the Tigers. And that's just a sampling of what's included.
