Berra, Rizzuto, Lasorda, Torre, Conigliaro, Santo, Piazza. Casual baseball fans--in fact, even many nonfans--know these names, not as Italian Americans but as some of the most colorful figures in Major League Baseball. Ever since future Hall of Famer Tony Lazzeri became a key part of the Yankees' Murderers' Row lineup of 1926, Italian Americans have been among the most prominent and intriguing players in the game. The first comprehensive study of the topic, Beyond DiMaggio is also a social history of baseball, tracing the evolution of American perceptions toward those of Italian descent as it chronicles the baseball exploits that influenced those perceptions.

Lawrence Baldassaro tells the stories of Italian Americans' contributions to the game, from Joe DiMaggio, who transcended his ethnic identity to become an American icon, to A. Bartlett Giamatti, who served as commissioner of baseball, to Mike Piazza, considered the greatest hitting catcher ever. Baldassaro conducted more than fifty interviews with players, coaches, managers, and executives--some with careers dating back to the thirties--in order to put all these figures and their stories into the historical context of baseball, Italian Americans, and, finally, the culture of American sports.

As good as high end
Size: 38W x 30L, Color: Navy
These pants fit and feel like much more expensive pants. They’re true to size and very comfortable! Prefer them to jeans any day of the week and are as dressy as I need!

Cheap and worth it.
Size: 42W x 28L, Color: Black
Cheap and looks nice, tbh. I orders a 42wx28l and it was a nice fit. I order 28L so the seam usually can sit above my ankle or shoe but It was a bit longer compared to my other various pants at 28L, it felt more like a 30L. I’ve noticed the waist seems to fit a bit larger than I’m used to but overall a nice fit and material. One thing worth mentioning is the stitching at the bottom seems a bit loose.

High Quality Cotton, Well Cut
Size: 36W x 32L, Color: Black
I was pretty impressed with the high quality of these pants. Remove the Amazon label and you wouldn't think twice if it had a Gap, Banana Repblic or Levi's instead. They are well cut and well stitched. I ordered black and the color looks great too. Fits to size.

Great fit
Size: 36W x 32L, Color: Dark Khaki
My boys love these pants. College son prefers them when he is golfing. They fit well and are comfortable. He usually wears southern tide brand which are extremely pricey. So happy to have found these. Already ordered in multiple colors. They are nice and thin for Florida weather
