Reviews"[Creamer] recalls this momentous year in baseball and world history. He reprises Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak, Ted Williams's .406 batting average, Hank Greenberg and the draft, the furious Dodgers-Cardinals pennant fight, and the ensuing World Series.

Baseball in ‘41
Homespun style really captures a young man’s love of baseball and the last season before WW2. I liked the interspersed history and going’s on with world events. A little too detail oriented with tracking the season, but in all it delivered what I was looking for — great memories of great players playing a great game in the last great season before the war.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
