![]() The baseball games of Goodwin's New York City youth are dramatically and beautifully narrated-it is refreshing to read about a girl's passion for the sport her childhood love of the game and the three teams that played in the city in the 1950s is evident in every paragraph. The word ""recollections"" in the subtitle rather than ""reflections,"" say, is an apt designation of the book's content, which is charming and endearing, though does not allow access into the author's inner life. This memoir by the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian (No Ordinary Time) is a moving ode to her father and to their shared love of baseball. ![]()
