If you want to learn how this story came to life almost 80 years after the final pitch was thrown and 12 years after I began reporting it, Narratively has also published a short reflection I wrote.

“The Greatest Game” is a story about an epic baseball game played under devastating circumstances by extraordinary men. Writing this has been one of the most meaningful personal and professional experiences of my life. I’m thrilled to finally share it!

@mattwynn Oops - missed this until now but the timing is still serendipitous @mattwynn, as I heard that Celine song in a Lyft today and it was all I could do to stop myself from singing loudly and passionately along! 🎶
