The Brooklyn Dodgers are one of the most popular and most beloved baseball teams of all time. This book is a collection of writings about them, arranged chronologically--news reports, articles
and excerpts from both fiction and nonfiction works by some of the best baseball writers of the past sixty years. Among them are James L. Terry (from Long Before the Dodgers); John Lardner
("The Unbelievable Babe Herman"); Red Barber and Robert Creamer (from Rhubarb in the Catbird Seat); Harold Parrott (from The Lords of Baseball and "Owen Drops Third Strike"); Robin Roberts and
C. Paul Rogers, III (from My Life in Baseball); and Red Smith ("Erskine Fans 14 Yanks," "Over the River" and "Last Chapter").
