In the fall of 1992, America's national pastime was in crisis. Fan loyalty was off, revenues were falling, and the game was heading towards a strike that would cancel the 1994 World Series. Then the explosion of steroids changed the game like nothing else before.
For the next two decades, the tug-of-war between three men-commissioner Bud Selig, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, and union leader Don Fehr-would leave a vast, permanent stamp on the game. Played out against a tableau of stunning athletic feats, high-stakes labor wars, news-making drug policy, and backroom political deals (and with a strong cast of supporting characters, including Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Mark McGwire), THE GAME is a rigorously researched exposé of the nation's greatest pastime.
