ISBN:  9781496214065 (paperback) : 1496214064 (paperback) Description:  ix, 233 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "One Nation Under Baseball highlights the intersection between American society and America's pastime during the 1960s, when the hallmarks of the sport--fairness, competition, and mythology--came under scrutiny. John Florio and Ouisie Shapiro examine the events of the era that reshaped the game: the Koufax and Drysdale million-dollar holdout, the encroachment of television on newspaper coverage, the changing perception of ballplayers from mythic figures to overgrown boys, the arrival of the everyman Mets and their free-spirited fans, and the lawsuit brought against team owners by Curt Flood. One Nation Under Baseball brings to life the seminal figures of the era--including Bob Gibson, Marvin Miller, Tom Seaver, and Dick Young--richly portraying their roles during a decade of flux and uncertainty."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.35709 Fl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
