The Pulitzer Prize winner's memoir of growing up on Long Island in the 1950s, and her devotion to the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Reviewers called this a "must-read" for baseball fans, and it certainly is a must-read as well for anyone who grew up on Long Island. The book recalls a time when baseball truly was the national past time, and everyone in the neighborhood knew everyone else.
