The book is well written. I am still reading the book. I grew up in the 50's - 60's. I was 12 years old, a Yankee fan that read the sports section of the Long Island Press and the Daily News every day. That was a great time to be a Yankee fan. I also recommend reading the book about the 1961 season by Tony Kubek. This book should also be available on eBay. The way Maris' peers talked about his playing ability, Maris deserves to be a member of the Hall of Fame. I recall a play that Maris tricked the opposition into thinking the fly ball was going into the stands. At the last minute, Maris ran in a few steps and threw the runner out because they were into a home run trout. Maris could hit, run, throw accurately with a strong arm. He was an all around outstanding player. Heck, he won the MVP award 2 times on outstanding Yankee teams.Read full review
