Here is a stirring, colorfully written narrative about the state that has been the birthplace and proving ground for more Major Leaguers than any other, including Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, and Jackie Robinson. Blending U.S. and California history as a backdrop to a narrative rich with anecdotes, The Golden Game reveals the significant impact that California has had on baseball history. Written not just for Californians but for all baseball fans, The Golden Game goes beyond its geographic boundaries to tell the fascinating saga of California baseball and how it has indelibly shaped the national pastime. 517 $aGolden Game 606 $aBaseball -- California -- History 606 $aBaseball$xHistory$zCalifornia 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aRecreation & Sports$2HILCC 615 4$aBaseball -- California -- History. 615 0$aBaseball$xHistory 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aRecreation & Sports 676 $a796.357 700 $aNelson$b Kevin$01700685 701 $aGreenwald$b Hank$01870061 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973147503321 996 $aGolden Game$94478385 997 $aUNINA
