Being a narrative of the season in which the St. Louis Browns won their only pennant. This is a straightforward narrative which tries fairly successfully to avoid the usual pitfall of 'season' books, that of getting bogged down in descriptions of individual games, by interjecting short biographies, personality sketches, and anecdotes about individual players who starred in the games, sometimes even from the opposing team. The book is nicely illustrated, albeit with very few crowd or action shots, which would have added spice. It's probably of limited interest to others, but the book is a must for the many Browns fans on your gift list. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

World War II threatened to ruin Major League Baseball. By 1945, over 500 major leaguers and 3,000 minor league prospects had been enlisted for the war effort, leaving a dearth of talent for the Big Leagues. The St. Louis Browns, like other AL and NL clubs, would be forced to fill holes in their roster with scrubs-4-F players (those dismissed from the military due to physical ailments), retired major leaguers, and youngsters not yet ready to leave the minors. But there were still some top level players to be had, and 1944 Browns manager Luke Sewell assembled the franchise's most successful team ever, taking the St. Louis ball club to its first and only Fall Classic.
