The Autobiography of Baseball by Joseph E Wallace
The personal insights of more than 100 leading players of the past and present are contained in this illustrated guide to what it is like to play major-league baseball. Drawing on biographies, interviews, and newspaper and magazine articles, the author presents topics such as what Babe Ruth and Tony Gwynn considered to be the best way to hold a bat; Hank Greenberg, Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente comparing notes on overcoming prejudice; and Ty Cobb, Grover Cleveland Alexander and Mike Schmidt commenting on facing the end of their careers.
Joseph Wallace has written numerous books on science and natural history. An adventurer at heart, he has been menaced by leopards in the midst of African game parks, canoed through rainforests, and even stumbled upon the wreck of a World War II fighter jet in Papua, New Guinea during the course of his career as a writer. He lives with his family in New York state.
