Praying for Gil Hodges : A Memoir of the 1955 World Series and One Family's Love of the Brooklyn Dodgers review:5 stars (memories of my childhood) -
Tom Oliphant has written a heartwarming book about Brooklyn circa 1940-1955. I am 72 years old and have lived in California for 48 years. I came here with the Dodgers. I grew up in the Williamsburg section of Bklyn in a poor working class family. I must admit the book while not a comprehensive history brought tears to my eyes as I read it. I especially enjoyed the era 1940-1950 which Mr Oliphant uses as historical background for the 1955 World Series. The names of those lesser known ballplayers had my mind going back in time.
This is a book to be savoured.

4 stars (A DODGERS FANS DELITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) - This book reaches everyone who has either lived in Brooklyn or rooted for the bum's. It is history at it's best, covering what was right and what needed to be changed. If you know anyone who lived in this era it is a must read!4 stars (My Husband loved it) - I purchased this book after hearing about it on a TV interview show. My husband is a huge Baseball fan and most of the books I buy for him are Baseball related. He told me it was 'great' and he read it from cover to cover in a few days. I think it captured an era that he recalled living through as a kid in New York City. He said that reading about the specific ball games in the book took him right back to those days. I think he enjoyed those parts of the book the most. There was quite a bit that told about the family life of the author which weren't quite as gripping but overall, judging from his reaction, I would say Baseball fans would love this book.
