Brian Murphy and Brad Mangin have come out with a must-read, must-get book on the Giants’ miracle 2010 season. It’s called “Worth the Wait” and it’s published by Skybox Press.

Murphy and Mangin are two close friends of the Cohn Zohn — Murph worked with me at the Press Democrat — and they have turned out a beauty.

Murph, who now toils on radio, started as a sportswriter and he has a beautiful prose style, always did. Here is a sample, Murph’s introduction to the World Series section of “Worth the Wait”:

“That it would be the 2010 team who ended the torture was a delightfully odd thought. Could the ‘castoffs and misfits’ achieve what Mays, McCovey and Cepeda didn’t? Will Clark, Matt Williams, and Kevin Mitchell couldn’t win the big one, but a team Bruce Bochy jokingly called the ‘Dirty Dozen’ might?”

Well, you get the idea. Murph writes the heck out of last season. Mangin is a photographer deluxe. His photos in this book are personal and vivid and a constant reminder of what took place.

You will spend hours reading the book and just looking at it.
