In Tumultuous Times in America’s Game: From Jackie Robinson's
Breakthrough to the War over Free Agency, Bryan Soderholm-Difatte
provides a comprehensive examination of major developments and key
figures in Major League Baseball from the integration of Jackie
Robinson in 1947 to the owners-instigated catastrophic players’
strike of 1994-95. While many fans will recall those decades with
fond remembrances of the baseball stars who played then—from Joe
DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, and Willie Mays to Roberto
Clemente, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, and Cal Ripken—they were
also a time of substantial challenges that upended more than half a
century of tradition that was the backbone of the major leagues.
Tumultuous Times in America’s Game includes histories of each of
the major league franchises, presented alongside
Soderholm-Difatte’s detailed examination of the controversies,
developments, and innovations from these significant decades in
professional baseball. Recaps of several of baseball’s most
exciting pennant races round out the narrative, making this book a
valuable read for fans and historians of the national pastime.
