* Review: Dodgers Past and Present

May 16, 2009

The Sons of Steve Garvey Blog posted this review of Steve Traver’s new book, one of his many projects this year.

Upshot:

…Dodger fans might already be quite familiar with most of the tales Travers recounts, and he often doesn’t go into the depth necessary to capture the drama of a moment or emotion of the time. That’s unfortunate, as Travers, a former professional baseball player who has written other books about the Dodgers, surely has a perspective that would make it worthy of sticking around on a vignette to spend a bit more time.

But the upside is that the rapid-fire pace allows every page turned or paragraph read has so many memories mentioned and pictures shown, that it’s bound to spark memories on its own. And that’s a fun way to casually read about the Dodgers, celebrating their rich and vivid history.
