Description

That is the tale of one of the most all-time great teams of major league baseball, the 1957 Milwaukee Braves. The Braves boasted a lineup packed with power and a pitching personnel anchored by three aces. Four future Hall of Famers led the team to the National League pennant, and a fidgety right-hander pitched the Braves past the mighty Yankees within the World Series. Covering the Braves’ magical season in remarkable detail, the creator chronicles the winning streaks and the harsh stretches, comments at the key transactions and costly injuries, and recalls the unforgettable players (such as Bob “Hurricane” Hazle) and the events (the Shoe Polish Incident) that have since turn into a part of baseball lore.
