An amazing first-hand look back at America's Pastime. May 2, 1997
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It has been a long time since I read this book, but no other book on baseball or even on America during the first half of the century revealed so much about our character. Told by those who played at the time, it is an astonishingly literary work, with a rythym much like the game itself. A slow ride that somehow takes you in. the best baseball book I have ever read, by far
Glory of Their Times:Oral History of Baseball, 1900-1950 October 15, 1996
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Glory of Their Times is a great Baseball book. The revised edition adds four player interviews to the originals. It covers those who played from the early 1900's such as Sam Crawford (who played with Ty Cobb) to the 1940's with Hank Greenberg (who played against Jackie Robinson). Player memories allow us to "see" again famous plays such as the 1912 'muff' of a fly ball by Giants' outfielder Fred Snodgrass which cost his team the World Series. Such 'word pictures' along with vintage photographs make this poignant and memorable book one you will treasure and want to read again and again
