Sixty Years and Sixty Heroes

Young adult sports fans of the Twins, Vikings, and other Minnesota teams will enjoy browsing this collection of stories about heroics on the court or playing field. Each double page spread highlights one most-important sports event in Minnesota for each year from 1948 to 2008. Each spread provides a description of the season and game being featured, and a biographical sketch of the hero of the day. The layout in a two-column format, makes the text a bit dense, but readers can easily pick-and-choose favorite sports and/or heroes to read about. The book is written by Ross Bernstein and is a second revised edition of his 1997 title, "Fifty Years: Fifty Heroes".
