Summary: A Terrific Baseball Biography
Comment: I found this book to be a terrific biography of Hal Newhouser, who had his best years during WWII while many other players were off to war and thus had his reputation somewhat tarnished. Jordan writes evocatively not only of what wartime baseball was like, but also what wartime America was like. The writing is clear and vivid - Newhouser was no angel, but his fierce competitiveness made him a winner wherever he pitched. Jordan also makes a compelling argument that Newhouser should be in the Hall of Fame after being snubbed for 40 years, and shortly after this book was published he was indeed inducted. I recommend this book highly to anyone interested in baseball or American history.
