4.9/5 (22950 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Incredible Giants For the second time in as many years, circumstances altered choices in the selection of the subject matter in this new series of books on major league baseball clubs by A. S. Barnes and Co. After The Magnificent Yankees (1952) and The Artful Dodgers (1953), the publication choice for 1954 seemed to rest between two American League clubs in the West, the Cleveland Indians or the Chicago White Sox. However, in 1953, a brand new star flashed across baseball's horizon with the moving of the Braves franchise from Boston to Milwaukee and made Milwaukee's Miracle Braves inevitable. Cleveland's Indians, scoring a record 111 victories to win the American League pennant and break the stranglehold of the Yankees, were considered "in" for 1955 publication - until the World Series opened. After the Giants ran roughshod over the Tribe in four straight, the first National League sweep of a World Series in four decades and the first National League World Series victory of any sort since 1946, the assembled material on the Indians was discarded. The incredible Giants is the result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
