Publisher's summary

Here is the exciting story of baseball during and after World War II - when clubs still traveled by train, when night games and artificial lighting began to replace hot afternoons at the ball park, when the major leagues finally took on the talent that had been restricted to the Negro leagues, and when baseball started to become big business. In this companion volume to Baseball When the Grass Was Real, Donald Honig collects the reminiscences of nineteen players, including Robin Roberts, Ralph Kiner, and Enos Slaughter, who lay their careers on the line and also talk about the likes of Jackie Robinson, Joe DiMaggio, and Ted Williams.

Who is Sandy Koofax?

Why is it so freaking difficult to get a slightly competent narrator? Koufax is pronounced with a long O sound. Not an OO sound. Doesn’t anyone monitor the narration! Lazy ass people.
