Baseball in 1958 was at the absolute center of American life — the year the Dodgers and Giants left New York for California, the year Ernie Banks won his first MVP, the year the sport felt as big and electric as it ever had. The Real Book About Baseball by Lyman Hopkins, illustrated by Bill McHale, drops young readers right into that moment, with the enthusiasm and accessibility that made the Garden City Books Real Book series a mid-century institution.
Part of the consistently collected Real Book series, this is a wonderful piece of mid-century baseball and Americana — the kind of book that was read cover to cover by kids who knew every batting average by heart.
Vintage condition — wear and discoloration to cover and spine, markings inside. No dust jacket. Ships from Altadena, CA.
