As Good As It Got: The 1944 St. Louis Browns  (MO)  (Images of Baseball)
As Good as it Got is the story of that unique and memorable season. Author David Heller champions the '44 Browns as legitimate pennant winners, worthy of the same respect given to the '43 Yankees and '45 Cubs of the same era, and offers a wealth of biographical info on the team's colorful cast of characters. He recounts the entire season-from spring training woes through one of the most exciting pennant races of any decade to the all-St. Louis World Series versus the cross-town rival Cardinals. Over 50 vintage photographs highlight the book. Heller has been published in the Washington Post, Philadelphia Daily News, and Detroit Free Press.
