Editorial Review from Library Journal
When historian Goodwin was six years old, her father taught her how to keep score for "their" team, the Brooklyn Dodgers. While this activity forged a lifelong bond between father and daughter, her mother formed an equally strong relationship with her through the shared love of reading. Goodwin recounts some wonderful stories in this coming-of -age tale about both her family and an era when baseball truly was the national pastime that brought whole communities together.
Join Norwellians in a baseball game featuring a Norwell ball team consisting of "celebrities" who will play the Vintage Baseball Team from the Hingham Historical Society at Norwell High School Saturday May 2 at 1 PM. Rain date Sunday May 3. The game will be played 1880's style using bats and balls used in that era.
