Description
New York City Baseball recaptures the extraordinary decade of 1947ā1957, when the three New York teams were the uncrowned kings of the city. In those ten years, Casey Stengelās Bronx Bombers went to the World Series seven times; āJoltināā Joe DiMaggio stepped gracefully aside to make room for a young slugger named Mickey Mantle; Bobby Thomson hit āthe shot heard āround the worldā; and the Brooklyn Dodgers achieved the impossible by beating the Yankees in the 1955 World Series. Over the decade, the teams averaged an astounding 90 wins against 63 losses a season, making it, according to The New York Times, āa helluva ten years.ā
