Book Reviews of Cool of the Evening: The 1965 Minnesota Twins
Book Review: A great read
Summary: 5 Stars
While "Cool of the Evening" effectively tracks the 1965 Minnesota Twins' roster and their run to the American League pennant, it's much more than a game-by-game retelling of the team's story.
Jim Thielman has provided a history of a game and society in change, from Latin American players like 1965 MVP Zoilo Versalles and ought-to-be Hall-of-Famer Tony Oliva learning to live in America to African-American players battling prejudice just months after national civil rights legislation was signed.
Sometimes a compelling story can be told even when you know the ending. Such is the case here.
Summary of Cool of the Evening: The 1965 Minnesota Twins
In 1965, the Minnesota Twins were an endless surprise. Baseball was the nation's sport, and it gave people a little break from the world. The Minnesota Twins' powerful lineup drew huge crowds in cities such as New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. But in an upper Midwest storm-filled year, the Minnesota Twins were the perfect storm. When the World Series between the Twins and the Dodgers arrived Minneapolis was vibrant with red, white, and blue bunting. The Twins scored six times in the third inning of the first World Series game ever played in Minnesota. Decades after the 1965 World Series fans lined up for autographs of their heroes. This is the story of the team, the players, the games of the 1965 Minnesota TwinsSocial History Books
