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 Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48841113960653,"sku":"9781668227756","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_69053514-6eb7-4f54-b32c-d364ddab5364.jpg?v=1792003035","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/pafko-at-the-wall","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
