Title: 1939 Yankees-One of the Greatest Teams of all time
Product review: Facinating book----of a team and era not as well known to modern baseball fans. An argument can be made that this team ranks, along with the 1927, 1961 and 1998 Yankees as one of the greatest teams of all times. The 1939 team completed a four game sweep of the Reds in the World series--capping off their fourth consecutive world's title---a feat only equaled by the 1949 - 1953 Yankees.The year 1939 also marked the end of Gehrig's consecutive game streak; an early televised broadcast of a Brooklyn Dodger's game, the opening of the Hall of fame and an expansion of night baseball. With storm clouds of war gathering over Europe, 1939 may have been the last season unsullied by the prospect of World war.Author Tofel does a fine job in capturing a feel for the era.
