Re-release of Lowering the Boom—The Bobby Baun Story by Bobby "Boomer" Baun and co-author Anne Logan marks the 50th anniversary of the legendary "Year of the Goal." Bobby gave new meaning to determination and courage when he scored the winning goal in overtime in game six of the April 23, 1964 Stanley Cup finals between the Red Wings and Maple Leafs—a goal scored by Bobby after Bobby was carried off on a stretcher in the third period but insisted on returning to the game after his leg was frozen and taped. The Leafs won the seventh and the Cup; the injury, x-rayed later, proved to be a fractured leg. Sports Illustrated listed the goal as the 20th Century's 17th best sports achievement and the Canadian edition listed it as 16th.
