1957 was not just the time of the Brooklyn Dodgers’ last National League pennant race. It was also the year when everything changed in American baseball. The major leagues voted to expand to California. A new generation of Black players rose to stardom - Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Ernie Banks, Jim Gilliam, Bill White, Don Newcombe, Minnie Minoso, and Curt Flood. The World Champion NY Yankees of Mickey, Yogi and Whitey still dominated the American League, but after 1957 New York City baseball would never be the same. There would not be another New York – New York World...

Such an epic Disappointment
Revisado: 06-05-24
This book should be in my wheelhouse. NY Baseball in the 50s's with a little history thrown in. The book was scattershot and all over the place. It is the narration that sinks it. The amount of mispronounced words and names began to make the book unlistenable. Any baseball fan should be able pronounce Leo Durocher, Enos Slaughter and for Gods Sake Roger Maris. I didn't realize it was done by virtual voice until deep into the book. The way batting statistics were read, Mantle had a Point 333 Batting average, the Yankees started 6 dash 4 made it unenjoyable. I will never get a book done with virtual voice again. Just awful

A dramatic countdown of the final months of World War II in Europe, The Last 100 Days brings to life the waning power and the ultimate submission of the Third Reich. To reconstruct the tumultuous hundred days between Yalta and the fall of Berlin, John Toland traveled more than 100,000 miles in twenty-one countries and interviewed more than six hundred people - from Hitler's personal chauffeur to Generals von Manteuffel, Wenck, and Heinrici.

WHY WOULD THEY EVER HIRE THIS NARRATOR?????
Revisado: 03-24-15
Would you try another book from John Toland and/or Ralph Cosham?
Yes to Toland, NO to Cosham. Battle by Toland was one of my favorite audio books ever. I am having trouble listening to Cosham. His voice is grating and slow. You have to listen to him speeded up because he is so slow and plodding but at faster speeds it is almost impossible to hear. I would REBUY if there was a new narration.
Would you be willing to try another one of Ralph Cosham’s performances?
I would never under any circumstances listen to a single syllable from Ralph Cosham.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger that John Toland was stuck with Ralph Cosham.
Any additional comments?
Please don't ever use Ralph Cosham
