Editorial Reviews

From the back cover

The Detroit Tigers and Hank Greenberg, Hal Newhouser, and Virgil Trucks. The Cubs had Stan Hack, Peanuts Lowrey, and Phil Cavarretta. But with many big-name stars not yet back from the service, the 1945 World Series was so un-star-studded that Chicago sportswriter Warren Brown was moved to predict, "I don't think either of them can win." But in a classic souvenir for baseball fans, the 1945 World Series was anything but dull. To the surprise of many, the Tigers and the Cubs battled through an exciting Series that saw unheralded players rise to the occasion and take the Fall Classic to seven games--the finale featuring a Cub's gamble that sent Hank Borowy, the pitching hero down the stretch, to the mound with only a day's rest.
