No October: The Story of the 2013 San Francisco Giants. Heartbreak and denied expectation and a few moments of newly minted joy.
ISBN: 9781494428617 / Angielski / Miękka / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Why did I write a poem about the 2013 Giants and not the 2012 Giants? Frankly they are actually the same team and I guess I have always been more interested in how people react in adversity than in triumph. And the 2013 Giants experienced much in the way of adversity. From injuries to unexpected underperformance and moments of unexpected joy the 2013 Giants never lost that feeling of love and family that had made...
