When the Colts Belonged to Baltimore: A Father and a Son, a Team and a Time

In this moving book, William Gildea evokes the spirit of 1950s America, when major league sports players were hometown heroes. As a boy, Gildea attended nearly every Colts game with his father; together they watched the Colts become one of the greatest teams in the history of the NFL. The Colts were an integral part of Baltimore's culture and identity. When the team was moved to Indianapolis in 1984, Baltimore never felt the same.
