In the summer of 1941, as Nazi forces moved relentlessly across Europe and young American men were drafted by the millions, it seemed only a matter of time before the U.S. went to war. The nation was apprehensive. Yet for two months in that tense summer, America was captivated by DiMaggio's astonishing hitting streak. In 56, Kostya Kennedy tells the remarkable story of how the streak found its way into countless lives, from the Italian kitchens of Newark to the playgrounds of Queens to the San Francisco streets of North Beach; from the Oval Office of FDR to the Upper West Side apartment where Joe's first wife, Dorothy, the movie starlet, was expecting a child. In this crisp, evocative narrative Joe DiMaggio emerges in a previously unseen light, a 26-year-old on the cusp of becoming an icon. He comes alive-a driven ballplayer, a mercurial star and a conflicted husband-as the tension and the scrutiny upon him build with each passing day. DiMaggio's achievement lives on as the greatest of sports records. Alongside the story of DiMaggio's dramatic quest, Kennedy deftly examines the peculiar nature of hitting streaks and with an incisive, modern-day perspective gets inside the number itself, as its sheer improbability heightens both the math and the magic of 56 games in a row. Kostya Kennedy (born 1967) is an award-winning American sportswriter. He is the author of 56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports (2011)--named "the best baseball book to appear in many a season," by Roger Kahn. And Pete Rose: An American Dilemma (2014), described this way by the novelist Richard Ford: "Like the best writing about sport--Liebling, Angell--it qualifies as stirring literature." For both books, Kennedy earned the Casey Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year. Each was a New York Times Bestseller. The Rose book and other pieces and appearances by Kennedy, including a 2014 New York Times Op-Ed piece, have played a significant role in the renewed discussion about Rose's eligibility for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Kennedy is currently a contributing editor at Sports Illustrated, where he has reported, written and edited, most recently as an assistant managing editor, since 1994. He is an expert on baseball and hockey and was the magazine's first regular NHL columnist. Before joining SI, he was a staff writer at Newsday and contributed to The New York Times and The New Yorker. Originally from Great Neck, New York, Kennedy graduated with a BA in Philosophy from SUNY Stony Brook in 1990 and from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1992, where he was awarded the distinctive Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship. Kennedy was instrumental in founding and developing several features at Sports Illustrated including "SI Players" and "SI Adventure" and he served as the top editor of the Sports Illustrated Presents franchise, overseeing special print and digital issues devoted to the commemoration of milestones in sports. A frequent contributor and commentator on sports talk radio as well as on television for MSNBC and other networks, Kennedy has appeared on "Late Night with Seth Meyers", "Charlie Rose", "Morning Joe" and other news entertainment programs. He often has public speaking engagements focusing on issues and ethics in sports. As of 2015 Kennedy holds a visiting professorship at New York University's Tisch Institute for Sports Management, Media and Business. He has previously taught journalism at NYU and Columbia University.…
