"Loved the interviews of the old ball player that shaped my original impressions of baseball. I saw a lot of these guys play and I was right back to the days while reading their recollections."

By Tom, The United States

"This was a far supperior effort to Mr. Vincent's first attempt to recreate the magic of Ritter's classic oral history "The Glory of Their Times." The stories read fairly smoothly, remain very coherent, and, each player interviewed provides a few glimpses into their lives as baseball players. It is a quick read and an enjoyable one.

Brooks Robinson and Billy Williams are, for my money, the two best interviews."

Apr 25, 2009
By Tommy, Brookline, MA

"This is a great piece of history for baseball fans. Vincent does a great job scouting players to interview and has a great balance of players.
Some hall of famers, some not.
Some AL, some NL
Some from the 50s, some from the 60s
Hitters, pitchers, just really well balanced

My only knock is that some players repeat and ramble so it can slow down at times.

One very funny thing I found was that most of the hitters thought present day hitters were better for various reasons (they lift weights, they stay in great shape all year round, live ball, etc.) but most of the pitchers don't think current day pitchers are as good (they don't throw enough in between starts, they don't finish their games, they have more days off).

This really gives an in depth and interesting perspective to 50s and 60s baseball."

By Nathan, Salt Lake City, UT

"A must-read for any true fans of baseball. This book includes interviews from several greats and not-so-greats of baseball's storied decades of the 50's and 60's. You can hear the 'Paul Harvey' version of various stories from Thompson's Shot Heard Round the World (those dirty cheating Giants and their dugout buzzers!), to Erskine's 14 K World Series game, to how Snider hurt his elbow messing around before a game at the LA Coliseum, to how some of the greats learned how to throw a curve.

A very enjoyable read."
