- Summary:
- "With five games left in the season, each of the league's four westernmost teams still had a shot at the championship. It was the height of the "deal-ball era" of spectacular pitching and mostly low-scoring, quickly played games, with an abundance of colorful characters and controversial, often bizarre episodes"-- Provided by publisher.
