Description
"Go Back To The Polo Grounds, Ya Jerk Ya!"
It's the first Saturday in August of 1914. The New York Giants are in first place, the Brooklyn Dodgers are trailing last, and rookie Giant Mickey Rawlings might actually get to play in his first World Series Game. Until he finds the body of an actress--who also happens to be the new owner of the Dodgers--washed up on a Coney Island beach.
As the pennant race heats up, Mickey finds himself learning more than he ever wanted to know about the movie business...and playing hardball with a killer who's fast becoming an unbeatable pro in his own field.
Peopled by real-life characters like Casey Stengel, Rube Marquard, Christy Mathewson and John McGraw, Murder At Ebbets Field brims with great baseball lore and rich period detailed.
