[to] the best team the majors ever saw . . . the Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1950s.\" — New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\nThe classic narrative of growing up within shouting distance of Ebbets Field, covering the Jackie Robinson Dodgers, and what’s happened to everybody since.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a book about young men who learned to play baseball during the 1930s and 1940s, and then went on to play for one of the most exciting major-league ball clubs ever fielded, the team that broke the color barrier with Jackie Robinson. It is a book by and about a sportswriter who grew up near Ebbets Field, and who had the good fortune in the 1950s to cover the Dodgers for The Herald Tribune. This is a book about what happened to Jackie, Carl Erskine, Pee Wee Reese, and the others when their glory days were behind them. In short, it is a book about America, about fathers and sons, prejudice and courage, triumph and disaster, and told with warmth, humor, wit, candor, and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060883966\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 09-05-2006\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.9 x 5.3 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060883966\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42051243966573,"sku":"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0060883960?psc=1","price":11.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/5563\/8893\/files\/71VKtEKWvzL.jpg?v=1738996558","url":"https:\/\/zomdo.com\/products\/the-boys-of-summer-harperperennial-modern-classics","provider":"Zomdo Marketplace | Zomdo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
