Champaign IL: Sports Publishing L.L.C.. Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.2005). First Edition. Hardcover. [nice tight clean book, with no discernible wear; the jacket is also quite nice, with just a touch of wrinkling along the top edge of the front panel, and a hint of surface rubbing]. (B&W photographs) This book captures "the emotion, the drama and the sweet reverie of what many baseball people and fans consider the greatest sports triumph ever, the 1955 Brooklyn [World] Series win over the Yankees." The author has drawn on interviews with "all of the 11 surviving members of that historical baseball team, [who] have contributed their poignant and personal recollections of that season," as well as additional memories from opposing players Willie Mays, Stan Musial, and Whitey Ford, opera singer Robert Merrill, and broadcaster Tom Brokaw. The Foreword is by Bob Costas. .
