Woulda Coulda ShouldaBy Howlin' CoyoteThe San Francisco Giants had the best record in Major League Baseball in the 1960s--but they failed to win a World Series and won only one National League Pennant after a hectic three game playoff with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1962. Yet, despite the failures, this was aruguably one of the most exciting teams of that or any era and packed in the fans all over the National League. Hall of Fame stars such as Willie Mays, Willie McCovery, and Orlando Cepeda slammed baseballs off and over fences all over the league. Great pitchers such as Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry made their mark, Marichal with one of the most unusual pitching motions in baseball history and Gaylord Perry with his infamous spitball.Yet, "City 'Scapes" isn't your usual baseball book, filled with wooden facts and relying on the oft-times predjudiced and spin-oriented pronouncements of former major league players and executives. It is a story--faction if you will--that recreates the excitement of an actual game and era, Giants vs. Cincinnati Reds in 1961, as told through the eyes of a diverse group of fans with loyalties in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Cincinnati, and who battle by virtue of their opinions as hard as the players on the field while the game is in progress.
