Book Synopsis

The 1908 American League pennant race was described as a a fierce and fluctuating fight. With five games left in the season, each of the league''s four westernmost teams still had a shot at the championship. It was the height of the Deadball Era, noted for its spectacular pitching, low scoring, quickly played games, and memorable characters. It was also a time when professional baseball truly came into its own as America''s national pastime. This lively account details a neglected chapter in the game''s history.
