Front Jacket Excerpt:
"It's Tuesday, October 2, 1956, and I'm in the apartment that I rent during
the season at the St. Moritz Hotel. I'm trying to relax, but I can't. It's
the night before the first game of the World Series. Playing in a World
Series was always special, but this was extraspecial. We were playing the
Brooklyn Dodgers... It was 1956, a time of peace and prosperity, of the
baby boom and the exodus to suburbia. America liked Ike, but loved Lucy.
Thirty-eight million households had television sets, and most were tuned to
The Ed Sillivan Show when Elvis Presley made his first appearance. And in
the South Bronx, at venerable Yankee Stadium, a young man named Mickey
Mantle was having the season of his life."
Also included in the edition is a 1956 New York Yankees Team Photo.
