“of great use to baseball historians and fans of the deadball era and the 1920s..this is an important book as it provides insight into a lost star in the baseball galaxy”—Nine; “Stinson’s compelling prose is as captivating to read as his research is thorough and extensive. I was reminded of long-forgotten stories and enjoyed much newly uncovered information. Absolutely a must-read for anyone interested in baseball history.”—Jade Roush Dellinger
