This sounds really interesting. I'm from Brooklyn and my first ballgame was the Brooklyn Dodgers when I was little. Looking forward to finding it.LizzieMaine said:It sounds Diana West is a lady after my own heart -- I'm going to have to look this one up. (And thanks, Feraud, for the plug!)
I'm doing lightweight desperate-to-get-thru-winter reading these days -- just finished a very pleasant time-filler called "The Man Who Brought The Dodgers Back To Brooklyn," by David Ritz -- a comic novel about a corporate hustler who connives to do exactly that, to the amazement and delight of right-thinking people everywhere. Also figuring in the plot is the first female pitcher in the major leagues, a hard-throwing lefty who looks suspiciously like a twenty-year-old-girl version of Sandy Koufax. An entertaining tale that can be knocked off in less time than it takes to actually play a ball game these days.
