Boston, MA: Da Capo Press, 2014. First Da Capo Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Good. xiii, [1], 290 pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. DJ has some wear and soiling. Bill Madden (born 1946) is an American sportswriter. A member of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, he has served on the Historical Overview Committee of the Baseball Hall of Fame, helping to select candidates presented to the Veterans Committee. He was a sportswriter with UPI before he joined the Daily News in 1978, and covered the New York Yankees before becoming a columnist in 1989. He has written the books Damned Yankees: A No-Holds-Barred Account of Life With "Boss" Steinbrenner, Zim - A Baseball Life, Pride of October: What it Was to Be Young and a Yankee, My 25 Years Covering Baseball's Heroes, Scoundrels, Triumphs and Tragedies; Steinbrenner: The Last Lion of Baseball, "1954 - The Year Willie Mays and the First Generation of Black Superstars Changed Baseball Forever", and "Lou - -Fifty Years of Kicking Dirt, Playing Hard and Winning in the Sweet Spot of Baseball". Derived from a review posted on-line: Baseball is often referred to as America's most literary sport, and there is no doubt that Bill Madden has contributed to that reputation. In 2010, Madden was recognized with the J.G. Taylor Spink Award - the highest honor given by the Baseball Writers' Association of America - and enshrined in the writers' wing of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Fortunately, for fans of baseball and its literature, Madden did not choose to rest on his laurels. Instead, he continues to add to his reputation, which gets another boost from latest book: 1954 - The Year Willie Mays and the First Generation of Black Superstars Changed Baseball Forever. Within the back drop of the 1954 pennant races and World Series, Madden gives readers a look at how attitudes toward race - in baseball and across American society - were changing. Through observation and interviews, Madden provides unique insight in how different players - Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, Hank Aaron, Don Newcombe and others - handled slights, inequities and prejudices. 1954 includes plenty of baseball action, often told in the words of the participants.

1954: Perhaps no single baseball season has so profoundly changed the game forever. In that year--the same in which the US Supreme Court unanimously ruled, in the case of Brown vs. Board of Education, that segregation of the races be outlawed in America's public schools--Larry Doby's Indians won an American League record 111 games, dethroned the five-straight World Series champion Yankees, and went on to play Willie Mays's Giants in the first World Series that featured players of color on both t... 1954: Perhaps no single baseball season has so profoundly changed the game forever. In that year--the same in which the US Supreme Court unanimously ruled, in the case of Brown vs. Board of Education, that segregation of the races be outlawed in America's public schools--Larry Doby's Indians won an American League record 111 games, dethroned the five-straight World Series champion Yankees, and went on to play Willie Mays's Giants in the first World Series that featured players of color on both teams. Seven years after Jackie Robinson had broken the baseball color line, 1954 was a triumphant watershed season for black players--and, in a larger sense, for baseball and the country as a whole. While Doby was the dominant player in the American League, Mays emerged as the preeminent player in the National League, with a flair and boyish innocence that all fans, black and white, quickly came to embrace. Mays was almost instantly beloved in 1954, much of that due to how seemingly easy it was for him to live up to the effusive buildup from his Giants manager, Leo Durocher, a man more widely known for his ferocious nice guys finish last attitude. Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Bill Madden delivers the first major book to fully examine the 1954 baseball season, drawn largely from exclusive recent interviews with the major players themselves, including Mays and Doby as well as New York baseball legends from that era: Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford of the Yankees, Monte Irvin of the Giants, and Carl Erskine of the Dodgers. 1954 transports readers across the baseball landscape of the time--from the spring training camps in Florida and Arizona to baseball cities including New York, Baltimore, Chicago, and Cleveland--as future superstars such as Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, and others entered the leagues and continued to integrate the sport. Weaving together the narrative of one of baseball's greatest seasons with the racially charged events of that year, 1954 demonstrates how our national pastime--with the notable exception of the Yankees, who represented white supremacy in the game--was actually ahead of the curve in terms of the acceptance of black Americans, while the nation at large continued to struggle with tolerance.Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 36x229x152 mm;Gewicht: 528,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: mei 2014;Druk: 1;ISBN10: 0306823322;ISBN13: 9780306823329; Engelstalig | Hardcover | 2014.
