Come back to the 1950s and relive the dreams of 15 young boys who grew up playing baseball in Mount Vernon, New York. Hear them reminisce about what it was like 60 years ago living in a community where baseball was not just a sport but a way of life. Meet their dads and brothers who threw practices pitches after dinner and bought them their first mitts. Meet the mom who pulled her son out of kindergarten to watch a New York Giants game at the Polo Grounds on Ladies Day. Travel with them as they sang All I Have to Do Is Dream on the bus to away games. But most of all, hear how they became the A.B. Davis High School baseball team that won a championship in 1959.

This review is from: That Perfect Spring (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I grew up in Mt. Vernon and I remember all the players on the team. It was especially interesting to learn about where they are today. The book is well-written and has a natural pace to it because each player is telling his own story. Included are memories of Mt. Vernon, NY and the people and places that were so important to our lives. I believe it will be interesting to others who are not from Mt. Vernon but who played a sport in high school or were fans of a particular sport.
