Pitchers of Beer: The Story of the Seattle Rainiers ReviewTerrific story, outstanding book! For baseball lovers in general and Rainier fans, specifically, this is the tome. The Rainiers rise from the ashes left by the Seattle Indians to become the flagship team of the proud old PCL. There were several years that the Rainiers surpassed 3-&-4 MLB teams in attendance. Raley tells lots of stories about lots of players/coaches/managers/general managers and owner Emil Sick. It's a very humanistic book, not just a composition of stats and anecdotes. The index lists every player who wore a Rainiers' uniform and plots their progress (when possible).
The book is thoroughly researched and extremely well written by former P-I sports writer, Dan Raley. The kid knows his baseball and he certainly knows how to write. Learn a little Seattle history as well as a whole lot about pro baseball in Seattle. Great pictures/mementos from David Eskanazi. Lots and lots of good stuff. I was sorry to see the book end, just as I was when the lights finally went out on the Rainiers.Pitchers of Beer: The Story of the Seattle Rainiers OverviewIn 1937, when local beer baron Emil Sick stepped in, the Seattle Indians were a struggling minor-league baseball team teetering on collapse. Moved to mix baseball and beer by his good friend and fellow brewer, New York Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert, Sick built a new stadium and turned the team into a civic treasure. The Rainiers (newly named after the beer) set attendance records and won Pacific Coast League titles in 1939, '40, '41, '51, and '55.
