Awesome pennant race that year!

Another plug for "Summer of 41"...read it about a month ago, a great read. Neutralized some of who I thought were hero's, and brought light to some there WERE hero's. Great read, and yes, the fact it simultaneously gave a working history about WW2 was fascinating and how it effected MLB.
I love reading biography's...in the last year I have read Lou Gehrigs, Jackie Robinson, two on the Mick, Bobby Richardson's, and a really fun book written by Rico Petrocelli on the Red Sox of 1967. Great book...
