Beind an avid baseball fan all my life, it gives me great pleasure reading Rudy's book on the Dodgers. It brings one back to the time when baseball was a game played by players--not by millionaires. He captures the essence of the day with very fine detail, almost to the point where one can smell the roasted peanuts and hear the Sym-phony band playing. What's more interesting are the beginnings of the safety standards we commonly see today, ie., batting helmets, padded walls, and we all take for granted. It's sad that players had to get hurt or lose their careers for these changes to get made-thanks to the Dodgers. It's a must read. I must give Rudy 10 stars *********

All baseball fans will love this book. It provides wonderful history and insight to the way baseball was played when the sport was more down to earth and before players made millions per year. I learned so much and was fascinated how these characters changed the course of baseball. If you like baseball, this is a must read.

The Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1940s: How Robinson, MacPhail, Reiser and Rickey Changed Baseball
I bought this book the parts written about John Whitlow Wyatt. I haven't read the entire book yet, but it seems like an excellent book on the Brooklyn Dodgers

One of the best baseball books I ever read and I've read lots. I am looking forward to Rudy's next book.

This has got to be the best baseball book i have ever read...and I'm not even a baseball fan!! The author is precise and meticulous with great writing skills. For all baseball fans (and even those who aren't, the historical facts are fascinating) this is a definate must read.
