Customer Reviews

Good Book,some flaws

The book covers a subject I had wanted to see for a long time and generally does a good job.It covered the final year very well and provided good background.The reader is given a behind-the-scenes look at the business of baseball as far back as 50 years ago.The in-depth look at the last years players and the financial moves of the owners are often overlooked in other books or compressed into a few lines. However,the book does have a few flaws,the most annoying is the factual errors that are found thoughout the book.It makes you wonder about the facts you don`t know about when the author gets wrong things that you do know.Also,why not make the book complete by including the 1965 Millwaukee Braves and the 1967 Kansas City A`s?. Still,I recommend this book to all baseball fans and fans of these former teams.

GREAT BOOK

THIS IS A BOOK ABOUT 6 TEAMS IN THEIR FINAL YEAR BEFORE BEING TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER CITY. EACH TEAM'S HISTORY, STADIUM, PLAYERS AND LAST SEASON ARE DESCRIBED IN GREAT DETAIL. A LOT OF TIME AND RESEARCH HAS BEEN PUT INTO THIS WONDERFUL READ. A GREAT BOOK FOR ANY BASBALL HISTORIAN OR FOR THE CASUAL READER WHO WANTS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS GREAT SPORT. I TIP MY HAT TO MR. STUART. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
