"In this fine book John Rosengren presents the 1973 season as the
pinnacle of the period between the expansion to divisional play and
the revolution of free agency. In his telling, the story seems
strangely modern, yet if it represents a new wave, it is that of
"the new old." He will find ready and willing readers." -- John
Thorn, official MLB historian and author of Baseball in the Garden
of Eden
"John Rosengren brings to life the personalities and events that
made the 1973 season a memorable one. From the star players to the
out-of-control owners, it's all here in Hammerin' Hank, George
Almighty and the Say Hey Kid." -- Stew Thornley, author Baseball in
Minnesota: The Definitive History
"This isn't just a book, it's a season-ticket to one of the
greatest years in baseball history. With a wonderful knack for
capturing the spirit of the seventies and a crackling writing
style, John Rosengren has given us one of the most enjoyable
baseball books to come along in years." -- Jonathan Eig, author
Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig and Opening Day: The
Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season
