Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This slim, illustrated volume makes a fascinating attempt at capturing in theoretical, sociological terms the love affair between the Dodgers--the team of Branch Rickey and Duke Snider, of Pee Wee Reese and, above all, Jackie Robinson--and the homely, family-oriented, working-class borough of Brooklyn in the 1950s. Robinson, a complex and courageous man, is captured here, warts and all; few remember that the gifted ballplayer denounced the great actor Paul Robeson to the House Un-American Activities Committee. But it's the glory of those summer days that lingers in the memories, and in the pages of this book. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
The New York Times Book Review, Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
The Dodgers elicited love from the Brooklynites of that time, conformists and newly spawned copycat existentialists alike. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
