Baseball provided the heroes, and the Yankees, the Giants, and the Dodgers--with their rivalries, their successes, their stars--provided the show. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNew York City Baseball recaptures the extraordinary decade of 1947-1957, when the three New York teams were the uncrowned kings of the city. In those ten years, Casey Stengel's Bronx Bombers went to the World Series seven times; \"Joltin'\" Joe DiMaggio stepped gracefully aside to make room for a young slugger named Mickey Mantle; Bobby Thomson hit \"the shot heard 'round the world\"; and the Brooklyn Dodgers achieved the impossible by beating the Yankees in the 1955 World Series. Over the decade, the teams averaged an astounding 90 wins against 63 losses a season, making it, according to The New York Times, \"a helluva ten years.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluding a new introduction to the 2013 edition and rare interviews with Monte Irvin, Rachel Robinson (Jackie's widow), Mel Allen, Duke Snider, Eddie Lopat, Phil Rizzuto, and many more, this book is a must-have for those who want to experience baseball's golden age.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Taylor Trade Publishing","offers":[{"title":"New York City Baseball: The Golden Age, 1947-1957 | Harvey Frommer | Paperback | 9781589798908 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1782671","offer_id":50532296130712,"sku":"1782671","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/811_beuJhdL.jpg?v=1790352672","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/new-york-city-baseball-the-golden-age-1947-1957","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
