Wait Till Next Year by Doris Kearns Goodwin - 4* - My Review

Doris Kearns Goodwin’s memoir of growing in New York in the 1950s, and her love of the Brooklyn Dodgers. It heavily features her relationship with her father, who taught her to keep score at an early age. It includes historical context (e.g., McCarthyism, Sputnik, Korean War, the Rosenberg trail) and how sports helped inspire her to become a writer. The tone is nostalgic. It is so much more than a memoir about the Dodgers, and I enjoyed it very much.
