Дополнительные характеристики
Finally, there is a book about a famous professional sports team from the fana??s point of view! Author Rich Cardwell has excitedly and humorously captured in stunning detail what his idyllic small town summers were like growing up in his boyhood home of Ironton, Ohio in the 1970s as a little boy fan of the Cincinnati Reds' Big Red Machine-one of the greatest major league baseball teams of all time. Many universal and priceless Big Red Machine era fan experiences are contained in this book to help readers trigger their own boyhood fan memories, including listening to vintage Marty and Joe on the radio, pretending to be the Great Eight while playing pick-up Wiffle Ball games all over town and striking gold buying or trading for prized baseball cards. Also included in the book is the rapture of watching four incredible World Series on television and, of course, the absolute little boy thrill of numerous trips to see the Big Red Machine play in their prime at Riverfront Stadium.
