Pennant Race Summary

Pennant Race by Jim Brosnan

The companion piece to his baseball classic The Long Season, Mr. Brosnan's Pennant Race recounts the game-by-game lives of the Cincinnati Reds during their pennant-winning 1961 season. He was a pitcher with Cincinnati that season, but also one of the sharpest and wittiest writers baseball ever produced. One of the best baseball books ever written...probably one of the best American diaries as well.-New York Times Book Review.

Pennant Race Reviews

Wonderful reading [from] the Samuel Pepys of the league champions. San Francisco Chronicle One of the best baseball books ever written...probably one of the best American diaries as well. The New York Times Jim Brosnan is a gifted observer... His book is beautifully constructed. Herald Tribune ...Brosnan obviously knows his baseball, writes about it wittily, informally and with irony. He is a cynical, tough professional athlete and his book makes wonderful reading... The New Yorker Brosnan...with verve and humor...provides the type of insight into...the game that sportswriters can only dream of. Chicago Tribune
