Good primer on baseball in NY during probably the greatest time to be a baseball fan. Told mostly from a Dodgers point of view it does touch on the Yanks and Giants and goes into some detail with Mantle and Mays. Overall a good trip down baseball memory lane. Kahn doesn't go easy on making Mantle a likeable character. I was somewhat surprised by the bluntness of negatives on the mystique that one usually holds for past Yanks. Any way good read for baseball lovers."Cox wore a cheap, black, shappy glove. Shappy and magical. He stabbed backhand and trapped the drive between his black glove adn the brown infield earth. Martin strained toward first, hoping to beat out a hit. Cox waited and looked at the baseball. It was signed byb Warren Giles. Hope swelled in Martin's breast. Cox gunned down the yound Yankee by half a step."
