About this title: Before the team headed to Los Angeles in 1957, the Brooklyn Dodgers had already become part of baseball history, thanks to players such as Pee Wee Reese, Jackie Robinson, and Roy Campanella. Bums narrates the colorful history of this beloved team with recollections from the players, the writers who covered them, and fans.

"Bums is the best book I've read about the importance of a baseball team to a city, and one of the best team histories as well. Golenbock is a masterful interviewer and a fine writer who understands how a piece of American culture - in this case, baseball - can illuminate developments in the whole culture. He also knows a great story when he hears one."
