The expanded and revised edition! A big free-wheeling uncensored FUN read about a great team, a great ball park and a great city. The Giants of The Polo Grounds is the definitive work on baseball's New York Giants and their tenure in New York City. An "Editor's Choice" of The New York Times when it was first published more than 20 years ago, the book was also a Spitball Magazine nominee for the Best Baseball Book of the year. Author Noel Hynd, a former contributor to Sports Illustrated, has now created a new edition that maintains all the previous text, but expands the work to more than 600 pages from the original 375. Included this time are more stories about McGraw, Ott, Durocher and Mays and their opponents, plus more on the men and women from other sports and various fields of entertainment who also were 'giants' of the Polo Grounds: from boxers Jack Dempsey and Sugar Ray Robinson to entertainers Annie Oakley and Tallulah Bankhead to football's Red Grange and soccer's Béla Guttmann. The Giants of The Polo Grounds is the story of a famous team, a renowned ball park, an invincible spirit and America's most vibrant city from the 1880's to the 1950's. The new edition is packed with remarkable anecdotes about Broadway, New York politics, good guys and bad guys who made the Giants' era in New York unique and memorable. The new edition, practically the equivalent of two volumes, also features more than 100 photos and illustrations, most of them new, some rarely seen. Critical Praise for The Giants of The Polo Grounds "A compelling and comprehensive history of an extraordinary ball club." - New York Times "Grandly digressive! The owners, stars like Mathewson and Mays, various eccentric players are all here in this vivid history by Sports Illustrated contributor Hynd." - Publishers' Weekly "Fans of all ages will treasure the crazy quilt text for its stylish recall of the game's summer roots." -Kirkus Library Journal "Just plain enjoyable as baseball is supposed to be." - The Pennsylvania Gazette Think of it as a grand slam into the center field bleachers in the bottom of the 9th!
