Product Information
No season in the history of baseball matched 1924 for escalating excitement and emotional investment by fans. It began with observers expecting yet another World Series between the Yankees and the Giants. It ended months later when the perennially hapless Washington Nationals (Senators), making their first Series appearance, grabbed the world championship by scoring the season-ending run on an improbable play in the bottom of the twelfth inning of the seventh game. In alternating chapters of narrative and analysis, Reed Browning explains how the 1924 season marked the last time a team playing old-fashioned inside baseball won the championship. Along the way, the season featured two taut September pennant races and a variety of compelling human interest stories: George Sisler failing to recover his once incomparable batting eye after a sinus infection; Rogers Hornsby batting 424, a figure no player has matched since; Babe Ruth overcoming injuries in the opening and closing phases of the season to win his only batting crown; Dazzy Vance registering one of the greatest seasons that any post-deadball pitcher has ever chalked up; and the revered Walter Johnson, presumed over the hill,

Reviews
Was 1924 really the greatest season? In a well-argued account, Browning cites as evidence the close races in both leagues and Walter Johnson's seventh-game World Series win for Washington over the Giants.... Browning weaves an appealing story, alternating his narrative chapters with ones about baseball's players, business dealings, and other sidelights., Every baseball fan has a favorite year.... Browning, whose previous book was a readable life of Cy Young, says 1924 was a year of giants, the year that Rogers Hornsby hit.424 and Babe Ruth tore up the league with his hitting. Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins, and George Sisler were still at the top of their games, and Walter Johnson came back with a wonderful season and a dramatic appearance in the last game of the World Series.... Browning is not a sportswriter but he is a historian with a flair for detail. He knows the game and why its fans love it so., "Browning is a graceful and vigorous writer who has the ability to take you back to the games themselves in a startlingly immediate way . . . . Other writers have focused on individual seasons to good effect. No one has done it better than Browning does here."--Ronald Story, editor of Sports in Massachusetts: Historical Essays "Was 1924 really the greatest season?

[Browning] discusses how baseball operated as a business then, who the players were, what fans and parks were like and how the game was played."--SABR Bookshelf, Baseball's Greatest Season, 1924 captures the mounting drama of this memorable season while placing the story in a broader context. [Browning] discusses how baseball operated as a business then, who the players were, what fans and parks were like and how the game was played.
