A behind-the-scenes look at baseball history, as told through
timeless interviews with major leaguers For fifty years,
bestselling author Peter Golenbock has been interviewing some of
the most fascinating figures in baseball. Their conversations are a
journey back in time to the days of Ruth and Gehrig, Gehringer and
Greenberg, Robinson and Reese, and Howard and Mantle, as they
reflect on the sport’s greatest moments and biggest issues. In
Baseball Heaven, Golenbock brings together for the first time the
most historic and captivating of these conversations. The stories
range from Elden Auker remembering the day Lou Gehrig told him he
was sick to Albert Happy Chandler reflecting on his decision to
allow Jackie Robinson into the big leagues, from Ralph Branca
discussing the home run he gave up that cost the Dodgers the
pennant to Del Webb talking about why he hired Casey Stengel and
why he fired him. Baseball Heaven is baseball history at its very
best. It pulls back the curtain on the major leagues to reveal
inside stories, intimate reminiscences, and the friendships and
rivalries that make baseball America’s Game.
