O knihe

This work, which picks up where the authors previous book, "The Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1940s" (McFarland, 2005), left off, covers the Dodgers final eight years in Brooklyn. Chapters carry the reader from the 1951 playoffs, when a late season collapse and Thomsons Shot Heard Round the World dealt Brooklyn a heartbreaking blow, through the 1955 World Series title, and finally to Walter OMalleys controversial decision to move the team to Los Angeles. The author covers each season in-depth and assesses popular perceptions of the Dodgers, their players and owners, and considers OMalleys culpability in the teams departure, which ended a string of 74 years in which Brooklyn had major league baseball.
