À propos de ce produit
Product Information
Not only was it probably the most cutthroat pennant race in baseball history; it was also a struggle to define how baseball would be played. This book re-creates the rowdy, season-long 1897 battle between the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Beaneaters. The Orioles had acquired a reputation as the dirtiest team in baseball. Future Hall of Famers John McGraw, Wee Willie Keeler, and "Foxy" Ned Hanlon were proven winners--but their nasty tactics met with widespread disapproval among fans. So it was that their pennant race with the comparatively saintly Beaneaters took on a decidedly moralistic air. Bill Felber brings to life the most intensely watched team sporting event in the country's history to that time. His book captures the drama of the final week, as the race came down to a three-game series. And finally, it conveys the madness of the third and decisive game, when thirty thousand fans literally knocked down the gates and walls of a facility designed to hold ten thousand to watch the Beaneaters grind out a win and bring down baseball's first and most notorious evil empire.

Reviews
"Felber . . . excels at demonstrating the dissimilarities between these two evenly matched opponents. . . . [He gives a spirited retelling of the season, giving life to greedy owners, rabid fans, drunken ballplayers and terrorized umpires, all the while bringing to life an era of baseball when home runs were a rarity, players fielded with no gloves and starting pitchers threw almost 400 innings a season."- Publishers Weekly, "Felber . . . excels at demonstrating the dissimilarities between these two evenly matched opponents. . . .

The story, although concentrating on the 1897 pennant race between Baltimore and Boston, vividly describes the atmosphere of the game on and off the field, and in doing so creates a rollicking good tale to boot."-Pete Palmer, coeditor of ESPN Baseball Ency clopedia, 4th edition, "This book is a hoot from start to the cliff-hanging conclusion."-John Linsenmeyer, Greenwich Times (CT), "A fine source of stories about the days when . . . Boston fans celebrated victories by tossing into the air beans which they had carried to the games in their pockets for that purpose, and when an umpire could be arrested twice in one season without losing his job."-Bill Littlefield, WBUR-FM Radio, NPR's "Only a Game", "Bill Felber has woven a picturesque tale of how baseball was played more than 100 years ago in the rowdy days of the 1890s.
