Reviews

[Michael Tenerowicz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love baseball. Absolutely love baseball. So to read or see a book made by people who love baseball as much as I do is a joy. Baseball flashbacks from childhood. The smile still hasn't come off my face!

Great photos that brings back the memories of the 60's and 70's.

Not much in the way of a good narrative. However, many good pictures of baseball in the 60s and 70s. Brought back some memories of the names of the era.
