Synopsis
Fenway 1946 celebrates the city and the team and the spirit of that wonderful 1946 season in Boston - a season, as usual that broke fans' hearts - as America returned to peacetime pastimes. And on was more American than baseball., In January of 1946, Ted Williams, Dom DiMaggio, John Pesky, and Bobby Doerr are released from the military and vow to come back as good as ever. American and especially Boston, want real baseball again. In 1945, with Williams and the team back home, the Red Sox play in front of a crowd of more than 33,000 in their last scrimmage game at Fenway Park before the season starts. Opening Day for the league is in Washington, DC, between the Senators and the Red Sox. President Harry Truman throws out the first pitch. Ted Williams goes 6-12 in the series and is mobbed by Senators fans who rip off his shirt as he leaves the field. Near the dugout, Williams tosses his hat to a GI sitting in the lower box. Opening Day for the Red Sox at Fenway Park is an event for the ages. Before the game, Marines reenact the flag-raising at Iwo Jima in center field. The first pitch is thrown out by Governor Tobin, Standing by his side is a local war hero, John Murdoch, who gets an even bigger ovation than Ted Williams. Book jacket., Boston writer Michael Connelly captures the magic of America's return to normalcy after World War II in this intimate portrait of a city and the baseball team it loves. Fenway 1946 celebrates the city, the team, and the spirit of that wonderful 1946 season in Boston--a season, as usual, that broke fans' hearts--as America returned to return to peacetime pastimes. And none was more American than baseball. Along the way, Connelly brings out the stories and personalities that made that year so special in the Hub. For returning veterans like Ted Williams, young Congressman John F. Kennedy, and thousands of others and their families who worried while they were in Europe or the Pacific, the 1946 Red Sox season was a celebration. It was catharsis. It was what made America great. Husbands and sons were coming home to the open arms of a grateful nation. This included five hundred major leaguers who fought in World War II. The homecoming of America's best sparked a spirit of collective pride from coast to coast--and New England was not exempt. For the previous five years, America sat around its radio listening to war reports. Now they would gather in the parlors to enjoy baseball once again. Baseball had always been a thread that connected the country--a sport that linked generations. Opening Day 1946 was a tangible reminder that the country was at peace--back to the way things were. Nowhere was this more relevant than in Boston. From Scollay Square to South Boston to the North End, veterans in their uniforms, kids with bats over their shoulder, and housewives were talking about the return of Ted Williams and a roster that was considered the best in the league. Expectations were high--as always, at Fenway Park. Fans somehow knew this would be their year. The 1946 Boston Red Sox finished first in the American League with a record of 104 wins and 50 losses. And they wouldn't disappoint (until October).

It arrived earlier than listed and in the condition they listed it as being. This is not a series easy to find out side of complete box set yet alone for the great price they sold it for. The seller showed great communication and I'd buy from them again without question. Good series and good seller.
