Book Review: MLB Old timers talk candidly about baseball in 1940s-50s-60s-70s
Summary: 4 Stars
An interesting book concerning baseball in the 1940s-50s-60s-70s as told by 11 famous ballplayers (5 of whom were pitchers, 4 NL, 1 AL). They talk about what play was like, ownership was like, what the money was like, teammates were like, and also about the on-going integration of MLB. A worthwhile book for fans of MLB from this era, which starts with the birth of televised games (golden age of baseball?) in the 40s through parts of the 70s. Most of the interviewees made the Baseball Hall of Fame.
