Publisher's Synopsis
Good pitching beats good hitting, right? Not always. Not if you're Harmon Killebrew. Or Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Frank Robinson or Willie McCovey. Or any of the sluggers featured in Legends of Swing. Legends of Swing celebrates the careers of the 60 players who hit the most home runs during the 1960s. Here you'll find that decade's most fearsome and powerful hitters, from the fence-busting bats of Hall of Famers like Mickey Mantle and Ernie Banks, to single-season wonders like Jimmie Hall, Don Demeter and Willie Kirkland. You'll read - and remember - the hitters who cleared the bases regularly ... and smashed records along the way. Roger Maris, Frank Howard, Rocky Colavito, Al Kaline, Ron Santo, Willie Stargell, Tony Conigliaro and more. Legends of Swing touches all the bases in celebrating the accomplishments of the best home run hitters of the 1960s.
