“Seven Games in ’62: The Yankees and Giants Square Off in a Classic World Series” is John Iamarino’s second book since he retired as commissioner of the Southern Conference in 2019.
His first, “A Proud Athletic History: 100 Years of the Southern Conference,” was published in 2020.
“Seven Games in ’62” details the New York Yankees facing the San Franciscan Giants in a competitive seven-game championship. Included is a review of both teams’ pennant races and an in-depth look at the Giants’ three-game playoff with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the National League crown.
The book also compares game strategies in the early 1960s to those six decades later. Additionally, Iamarino, ’77, provides possible factors to explain why a World Series that was still very much in doubt when the final pitch was thrown has historically not received more acclaim.
Iamarino lives with his wife and son in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
