Fans Wept. The Crowd Cheered. The Announcers Went Wild. You Just Had To Be There. And You Can Be. In words and images - and on two audio CDs narrated by award-winning sports journalist Bob Costas - And The Crowd Goes Wild brings to life the spine-tingling moments that brought us to our feet. From bleachers to box seats to living room sofas, devoted fans and casual observers yearn for the thrill of last-minute heroics, underdog victories or the crowning moment of a champion's career. And The Crowd Goes Wild recounts forty-seven of the most memorable moments in sports and spotlights the photographs that tell the stories. Accompanying the book, two digitally mastered CDs contain over two hours of audio, including the actual calls of the announcers who were just as excited, surprised and awestruck as the fans. Their words - and the emotional charge in their voices - take you back to the heart-stopping thrill of the event, when an athlete triumphed. . . and the crowd went wild!
I thought the book and cd were great I am only 13 years old, so I have heard of most the stories but never heard the actual call. It is fun to listen to the call as you read and look at the great pictures. I definitely recomend getting this book.

It's about time!

One of the finest sports books I've ever read. Mr's Garner and Costas nailed the essence of some of the most important "happenings" in sports. Even though I knew about all of these events, I haven't ever seen or heard them, all in one place before. I want my Grandchildren to know without the legacy of these tremendous athletes, the players we admire today might have never had someone to emulate. Think of The Babe and Henry Aaron giving Ken Griffey Jr. the drive to inspire, and someday putting his name along side theirs.
