A charming memoir about growing up a fan of the perpetual underdog Brooklyn Dodgers, by a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian. Although ostensibly about Brooklyn neighbourhoods, baseball and her relationship with her father, her story is told in the broader context of the civil rights movement and McCarthyism. A very entertaining and insightful look at America in 1950s.
