Baseball fans young and old can
relive The Unforgettable Season:
The Story of Joe DiMaggio, Ted
Williams, and the Record-Setting
Summer of ’41 (Putnam, $16.99).
With illustrations by S.D. Schindler,
author Phil Bildner recounts this
incredible season of baseball, when
Joe DiMaggio’s fifty-six-game hitting
streak and Ted Williams’s batting
average of .406 redefined the record
books. In almost seventy years, no player has been able to break the
records set by these men, but the next record-breaking season could be
just around the corner. Who knows – it could even be this very summer.
Ages 6-10. DMC
