Product Description:

This sequel to "Baseball: The Early Years" explores the glorious and grievous era when the game truly captured the American imagination with legendary figures like Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth, but also appalled fans with startling scandals. The story begins with the formation of the two major leagues in 1903, and describes how the organization of the professional game improved from an unwieldy three-man commission to the strong rule of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis. The author explores the ways in which play on the field developed from the low-scoring, pitcher-dominated game of the dead ball era before World War I to the high scores of the lively ball era of the 1920s.
