The franchise came to rely instead on three aging pitchers, an unlikely trio that won 255 games during the five-year championship run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book focuses on the close relationship and quiet achievement of Allie Reynolds, Vic Raschi and Eddie Lopat. Soon after Robinson and the cross-town Dodgers had publicly confronted the issues of race and ethnicity, these men from very different backgrounds--Creek Indian, Italian and Polish--established a deep communion with each other, became lifelong friends, and over a handful of years re-wrote baseball history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sol Gittleman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786430559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786430550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 6.05w x 0.56d","brand":"Sol Gittleman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072763490559,"sku":"9780786430550","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36c24b9d-4fed-4c19-b72e-427170444cfb.jpg?v=1685443856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reynolds-raschi-and-lopat-sol-gittleman-9780786430550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
