With its personal feel and near-mystical quality, it offers a behind-the-scenes look at baseball history through timeless interviews with major leaguers. For fifty years, bestselling author Peter Golenbock has been conducting these interviews, taking listeners back in time to the days of Ruth and Gehrig, Gehringer and Greenberg, Robinson and Reese, and Howard and Mantle. In Baseball Heaven, Golenbock brings together the most historic and captivating of these conversations, ranging from Elden Auker remembering the day Lou Gehrig told him he was sick to Albert Happy Chandler reflecting on his decision to allow Jackie Robinson into the big leagues. Ralph Branca discusses the home run he gave up that cost the Dodgers the pennant, Del Webb talks about why he hired Casey Stengel and why he fired him, and many more. Baseball Heaven is baseball history at its very best, pulling back the curtain on the major leagues to reveal inside stories, intimate reminiscences, and the friendships and rivalries that make baseball America's Game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 599g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 236 x 161 x 30 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538181829\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Golenbock","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46090960601338,"sku":"9781538181829","price":16.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1716573529055_book.jpg?v=1716624446","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/baseball-heaven-up-close-and-personal-what-it-was-really-like-in-the-major-leagues-9781538181829","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
