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. Bill Felber brings to life the most intensely watched team sporting event in the US's history to that time.

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 Encyclopedia , 4th edition, "Felber . . . excels at demonstrating the dissimilarities between these two evenly matched opponents. . . .
