This Week's Good Book - The Echoing Green: The Untold Story of Bobby Thomson, Ralph Branca and the Shot Heard Round the World

This is a good sports book about the people involved in one of the most famous sports moments of the 20th Century. The author goes into detail regarding the event and the lives of those involved. One twist in the story was the NY Giants stealing signs in 1951 at the Polo Grounds. None other than Leo Durocher is behind the "legal cheating" that takes place. This one home run marked the two principles, Ralph Branca and Bobby Thomson, forever. There are many familiar baseball names in this book. Many of them were players whom I recognized as managers later in their career. If you like baseball you will enjoy this book. 512 pages. Published in 2006 and available at Amazon.com.
