Baseball: The Golden Age

by Harold Seymour, Dorothy Seymour Mills

Overview

The second volume of Harold Seymour's definitive history of baseball brings back the glorious era when the game's hold over the imagination of the American people was strongest, and Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb were legendary figures. No one can match Dr. Seymour for grasp of the games, for thorough research into original sources never before examined, and ability to recapture its excitement and the tense expectancy with which the American public followed the teams' and players' exploits.
