MLB World Series' offbeat history told in seven chapters: Tyler Kepner

Tyler Kepner has written a new book about the World Series. He tells the history of the championship showdown. The book is called "The Grandest Stage: A History of World series."

Tyler Kepner's new book is a history of the World Series. It's broken into seven sections, each focused on a narrow theme. There are tales detailing how players handled the pressures of a championship. Big names and moments get their mention. KEPner tries not to cover the same old ground. He succeeds in providing new perspectives while telling engaging and occasionally eyebrow-raising stories. The book's subtitle suggests it's a "history" of baseball. KEEPER: The Grandest Stage. I tried not cover same ground as before.
