"The great strength of this book, aside from Jeffery A. Kroessler's evident love of sports, is his vast knowledge of New York City and American history and his considerable skills as a researcher. There's nothing like this chronology." — Clifton Hood, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, and author of 722 Miles: The Building of the Subways and How They Transformed New York
