Summary
In 1946, as the aftershocks of World War II still trembled across the globe, America returned to its favorite pastime: baseball. In The Stars Are Back, Jerome M. Mileur offers a fascinating account of this storied season and of the backstage battle that would forever transform the game of professional baseball. Mileur begins with one of the most famous clashes in major league history: the neck-and-neck race to the National League pennant between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers. As these two iconic teams engaged in a bitter struggle leading to the first-ever playoff.

From foxhole to dugout
Peace is hell
They boys come marching home
What may be
Moving up, and out
Of barristers and baseball
The swoons in June
Midsummer dreams
Hardball on and off the diamond
The travails of travel
Dog days and vacation time
Into the stretch
To the wire and beyond
Seeing red: birds and sox
1946 and beyond.
