Witness superstar pitcher Bob Gibson ascend to dominance down the stretch and meet the other indispensables--Curt Flood, Dick Groat, Bill White, Julian Javier, Tim McCarver, Mike Shannon, Barney Schultz, team captain Kenny Boyer, and others--who helped power the team through the National League meat-grinder and the ultimate clash of historic heavyweights. High drama wasn't limited to the field, thanks to a harddriving owner, Gussie Busch, and his "special consultant," Branch Rickey.

The day they took me out of my home and loaded me onto a truck changed everything. I went from living surrounded by nature, with my brothers, to ending up girdled by towering buildings in a polluted, noisy city. I was homesick. Accepting that change was extremely difficult, but then I started to realize that the city was not that bad after all. A friendly gardener took care of me. He watered my soil, gave me fertilizer, and trimmed my dry branches so that a pair of finches could nest in them. began to feel very useful, as I gave them my shade, my oxygen, and my gently-flavored seeds. I soon understood that hope and love could manifest anywhere in the world, so I decided to put down roots. A story that invites us to see adversities as opportunities, and to trust that changes, despite surprising us, can help us grow.
