Danger in Centerfield by Willie Mays & Jeff Harris

Description: "Danger in Centerfield" by Willie Mays & Jeff Harris - SCARCE Paperback - Published in 1963 by the American Sports Library - 151 pages - Very good plus condition. A flashy young rookie is called up in mid-season to play centerfield for the Kings. Unfortunately, not all his teammates are happy to have him on the team as someone is sending him threatening letters. This was part of a short-lived series of baseball themed mysteries published by J. Lowell Pratt & Co. under their Americal Sports Library banner, purportedly written by Major League stars, which included Whitey Ford, Roger Maris and Yogi Berra (but obviously ghosted by accomplished writers). This book, attributed to Willie Mays, was the only one in the series that dealt with racism, and a player who is dressed down by his manager for showboating and not giving 100%. In addition to the great story, there are mini bios of 21 all-time great outfielders who are enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Willie Mays' own tips on playing the outfield. There is some minor edge wear on the cover (see the scan) and a blank 1-1/2" x 3-3/4" sticker inside the back cover, but this book is still in very nice condition as you can see from the scan. No collection of Willie Mays items is complete without this SCARCE book. Check out the scan for the artwork on the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (the book in the scan is the one you will get). No collection of Westerns is complete without this outstanding book. You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not, thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of receiving a high quality item (true to the stated condition) and a prompt delivery. You won't be disappointed. Don't get left out; this book is long out of print! All previous buyers of my mysteries have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please inquire. The book will be sent via Media mail in the USA. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please wait until I send you an invoice with the appropriate combined shipping discount. Please see my auctions and my eBay store for hundreds of books and a wide variety of sports and non-sports collectibles. All items are packed with care to insure safe delivery. Please contact me if you have any questions. 5-9-17 -- 3.4
