An All-Star lineup of former major leaguers remembers what baseball was like in the 1950s and 1960s. Whitey Ford, Duke Snider, Carl Erskine, Bill Rigney, and Ralph Branca tell stories about baseball in New York when the Yankees dominated and seemed to play either the Dodgers or the Giants in every World Series. By the end of the fifties, the two National League teams had relocated to California, as baseball expanded across the country. Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts, Braves mainstay Lew Burdette, home-run king Harmon Killebrew, Cubs slugger Billy Williams, and Hall of Famers Brooks Robinson and Frank Robinson share great stories about milestone events, from Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier on the field to Frank Robinson doing the same in the dugout. They remember the teammates and opponents they admired, including Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Warren Spahn, Don Newcombe, and Ernie Banks.

For anyone who grew up watching baseball in the 1950s and 1960s, or for anyone who wonders what it was like in the days when ballplayers negotiated their own contracts and worked real jobs in the off-season, this is a book to cherish.

Very glowy
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I just opened this to try it so I can't speak on if it breaks me out but the expiration date is good it doesn't expire until next summer. It's not thick at all very liquid actually but not a messy. I skipped moisturizer today to see how the hydration will be. I have severe dry skin so we will see. Very oily, glowy, moisturizing. I used it on my face and arms. It left a beautiful glow on my face so we will see how long it's takes to soak in. No strong smell which is nice and it's a large bottle!

Very moisturizing but clogged my pores
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I like the texture of this sunscreen a lot, and it gives me a nice glow. However, it did cause me to break out a lot with small whiteheads so I had to discontinue using it.

Recommended! A Must-Have for Sun Protection
Size: 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've been using the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Stick for a while now, and I can't imagine going out without it. This convenient stick sunscreen provides excellent sun protection without leaving behind a greasy or sticky residue. One of the things I love most about this product is the way it sits on my skin. It gives a subtle, healthy-looking glow that's far from chalky or unnatural. The "whiteness" it provides is subtle and believable, adding a touch of radiance to my complexion. I get compliments whenever I apply this on my face! The stick format is incredibly easy to apply and reapply throughout the day. It fits perfectly in my purse and doesn't require any messy fingers. The formula absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling smooth and protected. I use this sunscreen as a touch-up after applying my regular sunscreen, especially on areas like my face and neck. It provides an extra layer of protection and ensures that I'm fully covered from the sun's harmful rays. If you're looking for a reliable and effective sunscreen that won't leave you feeling greasy or sticky, I highly recommend the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Stick. It's a must-have for anyone who wants to protect their skin from the sun while maintaining a healthy, radiant glow.
