Review of 'Pitchers of beer' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

On this night of repeating Seattle champions, I finished another book about a team from Seattle that won back-to-back championships (1940 and 1941). In many was, this book was an excellent follow-on to Boys in the Boat - in time period and in historical personalities. The writing is, unfortunately, not as good. The author covers 27 seasons (along with lead in and follow up) and did a fairly decent job of it. The character of Emil Sick, Fred Hutchison and others come through well. The resulting book is a solid 3½ star effort.
