The 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers My Dad’s Team

Reliving the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers Season as if You Were There "You've done a great job paying tribute to your father, putting together this well-written, interesting account of that extraordinary year." >Len Ferman, The Sports Time Traveler, takes you on a virtual trip, back in time, to experience the old Brooklyn Dodgers during their 1955 season. The Brooklyn Dodgers were loved by their fans, possibly more so than any other professional sports team in history. In 1955, the Dodgers' core group of players, who became known as "The Boys of Summer," had played together for a remarkably long time, and yet had never won a World Series. The reader will have the opportunity to share in the excitement of the Dodgers' incredible 1955 season, which was also the rookie year of Sandy Koufax. Each chapter is an individual short story, often taking you back to a single game in 1955. The stories capture the human interest elements and the drama of the games in a way that will make you feel like you were in the ballpark or listening on the radio. The foreword is written by Tom Villante, producer of Dodger's radio & TV broadcasts in 1955. Villante, age 97, shares a precious story in the foreword that ties into the book's conclusion, in an ironic twist reminiscent of a Hollywood drama. Yet, it did happen and was reported in the newspapers in 1955. Experience the Brooklyn Dodgers' 1955 season in this exciting, fast-paced, easy-to-read book. You'll be on the edge of your seat as you read.
