Neil Leifer

Professional baseball of the 1960s and '70s belongs to Neil Leifer, the premier sports photographer of his generation. In 1960, at age 17, Neil Leifer had the human drive to match his new Nikon motor drive, and he was on his way.

This superb collection of images reflects the total access Neil Leifer had to the players – on the ball field, in the dugout, and in the locker room. Featuring more than 300 photo's, the book is divided into four chapters: on the Game, the heroes – like Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle, and Sandy Koufax; the Rivalry (infamously, between the Yankees and the Red Sox and the Giants and the Dodgers); and the World Series schampionship.
