Leagues Apart: The Men And Times Of The Negro Baseball Leagues

Fields of Racism: Excellent Book for Children
This fascinating account of pre integration baseball is a treasure. Not only does it introduce young readers (and parents not familiar with the "Negro Leagues") to great, almost legendary African-American players including Leroy "Satchel" Paige, Josh White, James "Cool Papa" Bell, Josh Gibson, and Jackie Robinson (as well as the Cuban-born Martin Dihigo, Jose Mendez, and Crisobal Torriente), but ...

Bison Books, 2006

Chance, Merkle, and Mathewson in the Greatest Pennant Race
Read about the 1908 season from the perspective of a newpaper reader in the early 20th century. A facinating book, of interest to the historian as well as the baseball fan. The newspaper accounts of Merkle's disasterous decision that cost the NY Giants the pennent are priceless.

no math
Overall this book was OK. It presented the key information in money and banking and the authors often made it entertaining to read. However the one major flaw with the book is the lack of ANY math. I know that some books are marketed for a more mathematical approach and thus contain more advanced mathematics accordingly. However this book had so little math it was laughable. I recall one section ...

Unbelievably thorough and still exiting all through

The Glory of Their Times : The Story of Baseball Told By the Men Who Played It

Harper Paperbacks, 1992

Baseball's Old Testament
Statistically, baseball back then couldn't be more at variance with the game now. Cy Young threw 511 career victories, and 750 complete games. In 1909, Ty Cobb led the majors both in batting average (.377) and home runs (9). Cobb's teammate Sam Crawford hit over 300 triples in his career. What to make of such numbers? Lawrence S. Ritter's "The Glory Of Their Times" strips away the statistical ...

We Played the Game: Memories of Baseball's Greatest Era

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2002

Cure for the winter blues
This is the perfect baseball book for all seasons, but especially now with the World Series over, and spring training still months away. It also seems appropriate to me that this book is set during one of the "Golden Ages" of baseball between 1947 and 1964, a time when the only stats that mattered reflected exploits on the field, rather than tallies of bank accounts off the diamond, as we have ...

LAWRENCE S. RITTER, 1966

Glory of Their Times: Story of the Early Days of Baseball Told By the Men Who Played It
Never got this book when it came out in the '60s and I was a kid. Sorry now that I didn't! Fascinating tales of baseball now almost a century old. Back in the '60s many of these early players were still alive and Ritter interviewed them. He did a great job and you can learn so much from them. How much different baseball was a hundred years ago. Fans used to seeing any time a ball touches ...

Lawrence S. Ritter

Total Sports, 1998

An EXTRAORDINARY work on sports and New York City History
I read "The Glory of their Times" when I was 10 and have never forgotten it. What a read and what a joy it was to find this new work! Ritter tells you not only where Ebbetts field or the Polo Grounds were but he tells you which outfield wall paralleled which street! Learn about Babe Ruth's New York, Lou Gehrig's New York and a whole host of other places which served to make New York the unique ...

We Played the Game: 65 Players Remember Baseball's Greatest Era, 1947-1964

3 reviews

Diane Pub Co, 1994

A Truly Great History!
Danny Peary has compiled an oral history that is simply as good an effort as has been done to date. The sixty-five players interviewed range from a few stars like Brooks Robinson, Del Ennis, Lew Burdette and Don Newcombe to solid career players such as Hank Sauer, Andy Seminick, Eddie Joost and Gene Woodling to guys just trying to hang on like Coot Veal, Ed Bouchee, Al Kozar and Bob Cain. ...

100 Great Baseball Players : Revised 2nd

Lawrence S. Ritter

Random House Value Publishing, 1986

Good Selections...
Ritter and Honig do a pretty good job of selecting the best players of all time in this book. In no particular order, they introduce each player with a few paragraphs of statistics and evaluations. They include some very rare photographs, too. Their list inclines more towards the past than the present. Players such as Tony Oliva, Pete Reiser, Smokey Joe Wood, and Herb Score are in the book ...

Fred Lieb is A True Hall of Famer
Fred Lieb knew the players he talks about personally. Anything written by Fred Lieb about baseball is coming from a true authority on the subject. Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. No other sport can touch it, and in reading about it from Fred Lieb you are getting it from a true master. Do yourself a favor. Buy the book.

The Story of Baseball
This book tells the history of baseball. It highlights the past and present ball players. This book also explains the rules and how to play or be a better player. It helps those who don't understand the game to be able to understand as a viewer. This is a great book to own! Contains excellent black and white sport illustrations. An excellent book and I am recommending it for teachers, ...
