Books in the Memorable Teams in Baseball History series

Of all the New York Yankees championship teams, the 1947 club seemed the least likely. Bridging Two Dynasties commemorates this historic club - the players, on the field and off, and the events surrounding their remarkable season. Along with player biographies, the book features a seasonal timeline and covers pertinent topics such as the winning streak, and the thrilling World Series.

The 1975 Cincinnati Reds, also known as the "Big Red Machine," are not just one of the most memorable teams in baseball history - they are unforgettable. This book commemorates the people and events surrounding this baseball team with essays on team management and key aspects and highlights of the season, including Pete Rose's position change.

Of all the teams in the annals of baseball, only a select few can lay claim to historic significance. One of those teams is the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers, the first racially integrated Major League team of the twentieth century. This book is the first to offer biographies of everyone on that incomparable team as well as accounts of the moments and events that marked the Dodgers' 1947 season.

For the Baltimore Orioles, the glory days stretched to decades. Through the 1960s and 1970s, the team had the best record in the American League. But the best of all, and one of baseball's greatest teams ever, was the Orioles team of 1970. Pitching, Defense, and Three-Run Homers documents that paradoxically unforgettable yet often overlooked World Champion team.

By 1964 the storied St. Louis Cardinals had gone seventeen years without so much as a pennant. Drama and Pride in the Gateway City commemorates the team that Bing Devine built, the 1964 team that prevailed in one of the tightest three-way pennant races of all time and then went on to win the World Series, beating the New York Yankees in the full seven games.

The 1954 Cleveland Indians were one of the most remarkable baseball teams of all time. This book features the writing and research of members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).
