Description
A vivid chronicle of baseball’s postwar golden age, this book follows the New York Yankees, New York Giants, and Brooklyn Dodgers as they dominated the sport and captured the imagination of a nation. Drawing on the author’s experience covering the Dodgers, it brings to life the players, rivalries, pennant races, and changing culture surrounding the game from 1947 to 1957. Alongside its sports history, the narrative explores parental expectations, ambition, loyalty, and the gritty pressures of the newsroom. Told with the warmth, insight, and literary craftsmanship associated with the author’s finest work, it is both an essential portrait of an extraordinary baseball era and a richly observed story of the people who lived through it.
