SynopsisIn the eleven years between 1947, when Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, and 1957, when the Dodgers and the New York Giants played their last season in the East, New York baseball teams were involved in ten World Series. In seven of those years, either the Dodgers or the Giants teams vied for the championship with the lordly Yankees. These were truly the glory years of New York baseball, when the city breathlessly followed the game in the tabloids rather than on the television. And the New York Daily News - the nation's largest newspaper - spared no expense to record the action for the fans. It had the best photographers, the best equipment, and the best field position - and it brought the art of baseball photography to its highest pitch. In this book, the reader can follow year by year the course of baseball's most exciting decade in the world's greatest city.
