"Dedicated to each and every one of those Brooklyn Dodger fans who lost so much, so soon, for so little reason." Golenbeck covers the history of the Dodgers from their earliest days through Walter O'Malley's eventual removal of the team to California, largely through the memories of those who played for, worked for or wrote about them. Also issued as a signed/limited edition signed by Duke Snider and the author. With a list of signatures laid in.

Book with mild soiling to boards, price-clipped dust jacket with two small chips along top edge, mild toning. A near-fine copy.
