This book will appeal to life-long baserball fans, particularly
those who have followed the game for many years--specifically males
over the age of 60, perhaps even age 50, too. Younger followers of
athletic contests may also likely have an interest, given the
revitalized impact to the sport currently--yearly Major League
attendance numbers reflect over 73 Million paying customers in
2009. Cable network coverage proliferates--ESPN and MLB to name
just two--continuously streaming the latest information and
highlights 24 hours daily to a vast majority of USand international
households. Americans are now living longer on average than they
did during the time of this book, there currently existing an ever
increasing focus on nostalgia-- perhaps due to a wistful longing
for certain things and events from the past--when society seemed to
be far less complex and simpler pleasures abounded. E-Bay and the
numerous flea markets scattered throughout our nation readily
attest to this phenomenon. Like any good history book, this work
attempts to create a perspective of the circumstances and
participants who influenced the relative events of 50 odd years
ago. These events helped shape the evolution of the modern game
today, a game now more widely driven by economics and media hype.
