Roger Kahn ("The Boys of Summer") is one of the better baseball writers, and this is another good one, a kind of free-ranging tour of baseball in the mid-1970's from the Dodgers and Houston (at that time deep in debt and in danger of folding as a franchise) to Stan Musial, Early Wynn, one of the best players of the black leagues when they were barred from the majors, Bill Veeck, Roberto Clemente's home, Johnny Bench and many others. Kahn has a true affection for baseball, most players, and its place in the American scene, and it shows in his writing. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Distinctions
In 1976 Roger Kahn spent an entire baseball season, from spring training through the World Series, with players of every stripe and competence. The result is this book, in which Kahn reports on a small college team's successes and hopes, a young New England ball club, a failing major league franchise, and a group of heroes on the national stage.
