I LIKED IT

THIS IS ABOUT 1960 WHICH IS THE LAST SEASON BEFORE EXPANSION TOOK PLACE IN BASEBALL. I LIKED THE COVERAGE GIVEN TO TED WILLIAMS, THE PENNANT RACES AND ABOVE ALL THE WORLD SERIES. THIS BOOK WAS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT AND IS EASY READING. MANY OTHER THINGS TO BE FOUND IN THIS BOOK IS TEAM ROSTERS, LEAGUE STATS, TOP SALARY INFO AND MANY OTHER THINGS MADE THIS A GOOD READ FOR ME. I RECOMMEND IT.

Last Pure Season

In 1960, Ted Williams played his last year and Stan Musial was getting close to retirement. This book tells about 51 great players in the league, a couple of lines about each, and an attempt to start another league in 1960. The story of Mazeroski's ninth inning home run to win the World Series of 1960 is great!
