"In all of sports history, there has rarely been a bond like the one that linked the Brooklyn Dodgers with their fans. True believers to the core, Brooklynites cheered their team through every season, but never more passionately than the summer of 1955. And for a brief and shining moment on the sunny afternoon of October 4, 1955, Brooklyn stood still. Finally, the Dodgers, the beloved Bums, laid to rest a hard century of World Series futility and brought to Flatbush what Brooklynites never had before and would never have again: a championship." "Bums No More! is a brilliant account of the Dodgers World Series victory - the year they finally beat the Yankees. This book is illustrated with over 125 black-and-white photos and includes specially designed action sequences of the most important and exciting plays of the season - including the entire seven-game World Series."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
