Fifty Seasons

di Joe Posnanski (Autore)

Penguin Audio, 2027

From the #1 NYT bestselling author often called the greatest living sportswriter, a countdown of the 50 greatest and most magical seasons in baseball history. Joe Posnanski is the go-to writer in sports, and Fifty Seasons delivers a joyful, stirring look at baseball moments and miracles that often don't make it into lists of best players or teams. In this new book, Joe shares the greatest seasons in the history of the sport, across players and teams, from amateurs to the most glorious single seasons the game has known. We meet Joanne Weaver, the woman who had a season for the ages in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball league. And Mose Solomon, the Rabbi of Swat, who had the most magical year in the Southwestern league, hitting more home runs than anyone in professional baseball except for Babe Ruth. And players across the country and across time—Shohei in 2023 and Ruth in 1923; Judge in 2022 and Jackie in 1949; Fidrych in 1976 and Fernando in 1981; and more—many famous, many not, and all deeply worth knowing for what they gave to the sport in one incredible season. These are the seasons that still echo with fans and lovers of the game. Blending the definitive force of The Baseball 100 with the quirky wonder of Why We Love Baseball, this illuminating new book captures the greatness and magic of the nation’s favorite pastime.
