   Front Jacket Excerpt:   
   "Bobby Baun was the elite rearguard, one of the strongest players in NHL   
   history. Known for his devastating hip checks and aggressive defensive   
   play, Baun played a pivotal role in Leaf Cup wins. But it was Baun's   
   winning goal in overtime of game six of the 1964 Stanley Cup finals that   
   made him a legend. Carried off the ice on a stretcher in the third period   
   with what would later be determined to be a fractured leg, Baun insisted on   
   returning to the game, giving new meaning to the words determination an   
   courage. His rock-solid will helped send the Leafs on the road to their   
   third consecutive Cup. His goal ranks with Paul Hendersons' game-winner   
   against the Soviets in the 1972 Summit Series and Bobby Orr's spectacular   
   goal in the 1970 Cup-clincher against the St. Louis Blues as one of the   
   most memorable ever. How Baun broke his leg and the sequence of events   
   leading up to his famous goal have been inaccurately reported for over   
   thirty-five years. Now, for the first time in print, Baun tells us exactly   
   how his leg was broken, and how he courageously came back onto the ice and   
   launched himself into Stanley Cup history. Baun also take us beyond the   
   legendary moment and gives us a behind-the scenes story of those Leaf glory   
   days."   
   The "Lowering The Boom: The Bobby Baun Story" 1st edition hardcover book is   
   in MINT condition.   
   Price $20. US plus postage
