Thanksgiving 1959: When One Last Corner of New York City Was Still Part of Small-Town America, and High School Football Was the Last Thing Guys Did for Love (Book Cover)

Thanksgiving 1959, by Staten Island Hall of Famer Jay Price, tells the story of onetime high school dropout Sal Somma and his players – most of them the sons of Italian or Irish immigrants – on their road to New York City’s first schoolboy championship game and the Thanksgiving rivalry that, like the community around it, would never be the same.
