This is a fascinating collection of interviews from the former MLB commisioner with players from an era of sports (not just baseball) that is gone forever. Much like the many WWII oral history projects being recorded today, Vincent does us a great service by recording the stories of these players. My only quibble with the narrative was it seemed to have been transcribed directly from recordings without any of the normal corrections for grammar. This sometimes checks the eye of the reader but it's a small issue. ( ) A good book for baseball fans. It tells of a simpler time. It talks of the struggles of integration both for the black player and the Jewish player. It is nostalgic without being sappy. The only reservation is that it comes from interviews with former players. For some reason, they did not edit the interviews very well. You are treated to the interviewees changing the subject in mid sentence. If you can get past that, which I did, it is worth the read. See my other thoughts from my blog, some of which are duplicated. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
An account of baseball in the 1930s and 1940s is presented from the perspectives of players who share memories about such topics as the dominance of the Yankees, the impact of World War II, and the integration of African-American ballplayers. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
