Old Time Baseball : America's Pastime in the Gilded Age
Fans of not just modern baseball but baseball history from bygone times will welcome OLD-TIME BASEBALL: AMERICA'S PASTIME IN THE GILDED AGE: it captures the heyday of early baseball, from its invention in 1842 by the descendant of a British sea captain to the first games played on a vacant lot in Madison in New York. Readers receive both a survey of events and dates and a lively exploration recapturing the excitement of a bygone era.
Five O'Clock Lightning
Frommer reports on the games, as the reader witnesses the Yankees building their reputation as the Bronx Bombers; Ruth's 60 home runs were more than the combined totals of most other teams. But the author makes the players more human, more accessible. Gehrig, for instance, endured a two-week slump towards the end of the regular season because he was so distraught over his ailing mother. Can you recall Joe Giard, Paul Krichell and Walter Beall? Frommer includes their stories, supplementing their contributions on the field with substantial background material, including their lives in post-baseball retirement and a chronological necrology. Such intimate details are unusual in the rough-and-tumble genre of sports books
Yankee Century and Beyond
Yankee Century captures 106 years of Yankee life in reflections, stats, facts, and historic images. From their beginning as the New York Highlanders, playing in Manhattan's Hilltop Park in 1903, to reigning over Major League Baseball as it entered a new millenniumwith World Series Championships in '96, '98, '99 and 2000the Yankees represent a century-long legacy of triumphs and defeats, legends and lore, as an enduring symbol of America's favorite pastime.

New York City Baseball
At one time New York had three major league teams: the Yankees, Giants and Dodgers. What a time! In the days after World War II, some of the most heady times ever in the city, there was one incredible Baseball Decade. From 1946-57 the New York teams owned baseball. Relive the golden days of the 1950s in this amazing account. And loaded with photos and stats that fans love. Here's to you, Jackie Robinson and Joe DiMaggio.
When the lights came on again after World War II, they illuminated a nation ready for heroes and a city --New York--eager for entertainment. Baseball provided the heroes, and the Yankees, the Giants, and the Dodgers--with their rivalries, their successes, their stars--provided the show. Oisk and Newk, Pee Wee and Skoonj, Ski, Campy, Preacher, Westy, Blacky, Whitey, Yogi, the Yankee Clipper, the Peepul's Cherce, the Old Reliable--New York City Baseball recaptures the golden decade of 1947-1957, when the three New York teams were the uncrowned kings of the city and the very embodiment of the national pastime for much of the U.S. In those ten years, Casey Stengel and his Bronx Bombers went to the World Series seven times; Joltin' Joe DiMaggio stepped gracefully aside to make room for a yong slugger named Mickey Mantle; one Bobby Thomson hit "the shot heard 'round the world"' and the Brooklyn (but not for much longer) Dodgers achieved the impossible by beating the Yankees in the 1955 World Series.
"In June of that first momentous year, he startled everyone by scoring all the way from first base on a sacrifice by Gene Hermanski in a game in Chicago. Another time he dashed to second base on a walk. He stole home and for a brief instant the loyalty of the hometown fans in a game in Pittsburgh. Walking leads that terrorized opposing pitchers, football-like slides that intimidated infielders, clutch hit after clutch hit, evasive tactics on rundown plays - these became part of the Robinson mystique and style.

Red Sox Vs Yankees (with Fred Frommer),
Remembering Yankee Stadium
"In this biography of a building in the Bronx, Harvey Frommer, an accomplished writer about many facets of baseball, illuminates the truth of Winston Churchill's famous aphorism that "we shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us." This history of Yankee Stadium is a fine contribution to the history of the national pastime."

WHERE HAVE ALL OUR RED SOX GONE?
"In Where Have All Our Red Sox Gone?" Harvey Frommer interviews 40 Red Sox players and managers who share their wistful memories of playing in Fenway Park and then bring the readers up-to-date on their lives off of the field. Many players, having found their home in New England, remained in the historic Boston area, and some even stayed on with the team. Frommer discovered that 94-year-old Charlie Wagner, for example, is still consulted about Red Sox prospects. And Wagner is not even the oldest living Red Sox: that honor belongs to Bill Werber, 97, who played with the team as a third baseman from 1933-36. Former pitching ace Bill Lee (1969-1978), known as "Spaceman" in his playing days, is an author and well-known speaker living in Northern Vermont.
Whatever their current occupation, however, most former players take the view of former shortstop Billy Consolo whose career included stints with six different teams: "I identify myself as a Red Sox. Absolutely. That was my youth."

"Frommer interviews 40 players and managers and writes a piece on each of them. I will date myself, but reading about Johnny Pesky brought back many memories. I grew up outside of Boston and my parents were avid Red Sox fans. We weren't allowed to mention the Boston Braves or the New York Yankees! We used to take family outings to Fenway Park and watch Johnny Pesky, Bobby Doerr, Dominic DiMaggio and Ted Williams play. You can read about Bob Montgomery, Jim Lonborg, Frank Malzone and the oldest living Red Sox player, Charlie Wagner, who is 94 years old. This is a book filled with fun facts and great stories about this team that New England holds in its heart."

The Oldest Romans of Them All
…one day, when Paolo, by then the Excelsior's general manager, received a phone call from the Israeli ambassador, he was at a loss to understand. “The ambassador wondered whether I could arrange for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pass through Titus's Arch in the Roman Forum. It was after hours; all the buildings and monuments were closed. It was such a strange request. Nevertheless, I quickly arranged for the visit.” |  |
In Quest of Alsace's Jewish Heritage

Discovering a Forgotten Past in Girona, Spain
It is a January morning in Girona, a Catalan city of modest size, about an hour's drive north of Barcelona.

The Spanish-Jewish Connection: The Jews of the Basque
Since it opened in the fall of 1997, the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao, a gleaming curvilinear ship of titanium, limestone and glass, has drawn a steady flow of tourists to this Basque seaport on the northern coast of Spain. But among the throngs of visitors we encountered was an American whose journey had nothing to do with Frank Gehry's futuristic design that thrusts into the Nervion River. Joaquin Carlos Caraguegguie had simply returned to his boyhood home to arrange the details of his late father's estate. |  |

An Archival Discovery Illuminates a Forgotten Piece of Tudela�s Jewish History
Ninety-four kilometers south of Pamplona, where Ernest Hemingway ran with the bulls, Tudela, second largest city in Navarre after Pamplona, is a metropolis of many distinctions, not least among them a Jewish history of majestic proportions. It was home to some of the most renowned figures in Sephardic literature and scholarship; its two still-existent Juderias are among the most extensive in all of Spain. Yet for the longest time, Tudela's Jewish erstwhile presence was forgotten, victim to a kind of collective amnesia. And then a 53-year-old librarian/archivist made an accidental discovery, and the process of remembering began. |  |
Tunisian Jews on the French Riviera: A Link in the Franco-Jewish Chain
The recent uprising in Tunisia reminded us of Claudine, whom we met in the old section of Cannes where a kashruth sign in the window of a butcher shop had caught our attention.

A South American Saga: The Jews of Argentina
Although he wears many hats, you could call Elio a travel agent; he creates and organizes tours that reflect Argentina's disparate ethnic groups under the rubric “Cultural Tourism.” But his heart, predictably enough, lies in the story of his own people and in dreaming up tours that document their history in this nation. |  |
