Town Ball

"Featuring individual stories of success and defeat, hundreds of photographs and scores and statistics, Armand Peterson and Tom Tomashek chronicle the unfolding of a period of Minnesota baseball history - a span of sixteen years beginning in 1945 and the euphoric postwar days to 1960, the year before the Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins. During this time Minnesota experienced a magical era of amateur ball, setting records in town participation and attendance that have not been matched since. Along with the anecdotes, Town Ball offers an in-depth study of the era and examines the social and economic factors that contributed to the postwar boom and subsequent decline."--Jacket.
