The Boys of Summer of 1948: The Golden Anniversary of the World Champion Cleveland Indians
Cleveland sportswriter Schneider echoes Roger Kahn's The Boys of Summer in his salute to the champion Indians of 1948. Along with his running account of the season, he assesses Lou Boudreau's leadership and Bill Veeck's flamboyant trades and acquisition of Larry Doby and Satchel Paige. The team won the flag after a playoff with the Red Sox and downed the Boston Braves for their last World Series win to date. Especially recommended in the Cleveland area.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
