The Year of the Pitcher is the story of the remarkable 1968 baseball season, which culminated in one of the greatest World Series contests ever, with the Detroit Tigers coming back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Cardinals in Game Seven of the World Series. In 1968, two remarkable pitchers would dominate the game as well as the broadsheets. One was black, the other white. Bob Gibson, together with the St. Louis Cardinals, embodied an entire generation's hope for integration at a heated moment in American history. Denny McLain, his adversary, was a crass self-promoter.

Objective and holistic descriptions of the personalities of 1968 baseball year.

I was intrigued with the author’s comprehensive approach to the political content and personal struggles experienced by Jackie Robinson represented by the 1968 baseball season. Well done- unexpected but entirely relevant.

As one of the music world’s most iconic artists and the cofounder of the organizations ONE and (RED), Bono’s career has been written about extensively. But in Surrender, it’s Bono who picks up the pen, writing for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. In his unique voice, Bono takes us from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was fourteen, to U2’s unlikely journey to become one of the world’s most influential rock bands, to his more than twenty years of activism.

U2 and it’s Christian influence
Revisado: 02-20-23
I was aware of the Bible references in U2’s songs . The background of it explained captured my attention in ways I had not anticipated. This Irishman is a showman but he is humble too. His commitment to the poor and suffering comes alive in his book.

Dodger Stadium is an American icon. But the story of how it came to be goes far beyond baseball. The hills that cradle the stadium were once home to three vibrant Mexican American communities. In the early 1950s, those communities were condemned to make way for a utopian public housing project. Then, in a remarkable turn, public housing in the city was defeated amidst a Red Scare conspiracy.

Once Upon a Time at Dodger Stadium
Revisado: 03-06-21
Professional baseball: to love it and hate it is to know it. Nusbuam was unrelenting in his effort to examine the deepest roots of baseball, LA, and the lives forever changed by it. His scholarly approach, objectivity, and obsessive detail produced a baseball book like no other.
