Taking us back to the early nineteenth century, when baseball was
played in the meadows and streets of Rochester, New York, ""Silver
Seasons and a New Frontier"" retraces the careers of the players
and managers who honed their skills at Silver Stadium and later at
Frontier Field. The many greats who played for the Rochester Red
Wings - Stan Musial, Cal Ripken, Jr., Bob Gibson, Boog Powell, Jim
Palmer, Eddie Murray, and Juslin Morneau - are among those brought
to life in this story rich with quirky performances and poignant
moments. This updated version of ""Silver Seasons: The Story of the
Rochester Red Wings"", published in 1996, includes three new
chapters covering the team's record-setting tenth International
League championship, being named top minor league franchise by
Baseball America, and their new affiliation with the Minnesota
Twins. In this title, read about the longest game in pro baseball
history, a thirty-three-inning affair between the Red Wings and the
Pawtucket Red Sox that stretched from April to June; learn about
one of the greatest teams in minor league history, the 1971 Junior
World Series champion Red Wings; take a trip back in time and
relive the miracle homers hit by Estel Crabtree in 1939 and Jim
Finigan in 1961; and, reminisce about the closing of fabled Silver
Stadium and the opening of glorious Frontier Field in downtown
Rochester, which was capped by an unlikely championship in the Red
Wings' first season at their new park in 1997.
