- catalog abstract ""What a time! In the heady days after World War II, a nation was ready for heroes and a great city was eager for entertainment. Baseball provided the heroes, and the Yankees, the Giants, and the Dodgers - with their rivalries, their successes, their stars - provided the show. Harvey Frommer chronicles how in those eleven remarkable years Yankees, the Giants, and Brooklyn Dodgers won a collective seven pennants and nine World Series; Joltin' Joe DiMaggio stepped gracefully aside to make room for a young slugger named Mickey Mantle; and the Brooklyn (but not for much longer) Dodgers achieved the impossible by beating the Yankees in the 1955 World Series. This classic book includes rare interviews with Monte Irvin, Rachel Robinson (Jackie's widow), Walter O'Malley, former New York City Mayor Robert F. Wagner, Mel Allen, Duke Snider, Eddie Lopat, Phil Rizzuto, Jerry Coleman, and New York media figures."--Jacket.".
