Description

At age 18, Robert W. Creamer became witness to what he calls "the best baseball season ever". In 1941, DiMaggio set his 56-game hitting streak, Ted Williams batted .406, the Dodgers and the Yankees staged a classic World Series, and America went to war. An informal, social history of a pivotal year, Baseba ll In '41 is comparable to David Halberstam's The Summer of'49, and is a remarkable 50th-anniversary celebration of a very memorable time. 16 pages of black-and-white photographs.
