Book on the year of 1966 and Baseball
When you have a story that covers sports history, and what was on in television as the new and hotest thing in a time period you know you have an interesting read. David Krell captures our imaginations and takes us back to 1966 where the Dodgers were playing great ball despite some controversy, Batman with Adam West, and the original Star Trek were making their small screen debuts. Here is more on this interesting book, "Do You Believe in Magic?: Baseball and America in the Groundbreaking Year of 1966."
The game of baseball has a long and storied history of its players, teams and managers. The stats, the championships, pitching duels and so much more make this one of the most interesting items to study and watch.
