Categories: Biographies & Memoirs, Sports & Outdoors

Wait Till Next Year (1997) is Doris Kearns Goodwin's memoir of growing up in Rockville Centre on Long Island in the 1950s. Her father taught her to keep score of Brooklyn Dodgers games on the radio, and baseball became their bond. She writes about her neighborhood, her Catholic school, her mother's illness and the Dodgers' move to Los Angeles, alongside the events of the decade.
