An intimate look at the 1950′s Dodgers through their own words and stories. BUMS is one of many best sellers by Peter Golenbock, and it is easy to see why. More than 500 pages long in print form, BUMS is a complete review of the glory years of one of the most fabled franchises in the history of baseball, told in the words of virtually every key figure who was part of the team.
Written with the precision of a scholar and the passion of a loving fan, BUMS takes readers back to a team and an era, long gone, but never to be forgotten. The 1984 Casey Award Winner for best baseball book of the year, available for the first time in electronic format.
