Baseball: The Golden Age by Harold Seymour
Focusing on the years 1903 to 1930, Dr. Seymour discusses the emergence of the two major leagues and the World Series, the bitter trade struggles and pennant rivalries, and such legendary figures as Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb.
"Seymour's books remain the most entertaining and informative histories about baseball's position in American culture"--H. Gehrig Coleman, University of Texas Praise for Volume II: "Will grip every American who has invested part of his youth and dreams in the sport, and it will inform everyone else who is interested in an American phenomenon as native as apple pie."--The New York Times "Noteworthy for its thoroughness and for the way its author relates the sport to American life....Seymour has an eye for humorous detail."--Publishers Weekly "[A] splendidly researched baseball history."--Business Week "Sports historians will welcome [this volume] as a contribution to our growing knowledge of American baseball."--Journal of American History "With devastating documentation [Seymour] portrays the contrast between the beauty of the game on the field and widespread dishonesty off it."--The New Republic
