Seller's Description:
Color Illustrations. As New. No Jacket. Signed by Author Signed by author on title page. Gr. 2--4, younger for reading aloud. Baseball in New York in the 1950s was the sport's golden age, but does it have much appeal for today's picture-book set? Perhaps only with the help of a baby boomer turned grandpa. The story of Bobby Thomson's home run in the Polo Grounds on October 2, 1951--the deciding blow in a three-game National League Championship playoff between the victorious New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers--has been retold thousands of times. Like Doris Kearns Goodwin in Wait till Next Year (1997), Bildner reprises the tale from the perspective of the losing team's young fans. The account progresses from the Dodgers' seemingly insurmountable midsummer lead through the Giants' comeback to Thomson's fateful homer, with the text showing how baseball in the pretelevision era was a community passion, shared on front stoops and around radios. Payne's painterly mixed-media illustrations are bathed in attractive autumnal colors, suggesting the October setting as well as the melancholy of the Dodgers' defeat. A chestnut of a story supported by evocative pictures. A winning combination, if only young readers cared as much about Bobby Thomson as they do Bobby Bonds.
