Even the Browns by William Mead

Even the Browns by William Mead

A thoroughly diverting and occasionally surprising exploration of a slice of baseball history heretofore largely ignored . . . marvelously informative and fun to read. -- Sports Illustrated
Mr. Mead describes the Browns and baseball's war years with wit and irony. -- The New York Times
In this delightful rambling history, the author sees wartime baseball in its unique social context. -- Time
Now known as the Baltimore Orioles, the bumbling St. Louis Browns won their only American League pennant in 1944 -- during an era when the game's brightest stars were in the military. This lighthearted look at America's Pastime during World War I recalls charity games, cigarette drives, and the Browns themselves, a team stocked with a one-armed outfielder and other unlikely players. A joy to read, this trip through baseball's past was written by William B. Mead, a veteran Washington journalist and author of several other baseball books.

William B. Mead, a former UPI bureau chief and Washington correspondent, is the author of six books on baseball history. He and his wife live in Bethesda, Maryland.
