1930's baseball reading

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>just finished reading "breaking the slump" baseball in the depression era by chas. alexander it's an older book (2002)and covers the years 1930-1941. since i really like the cards of the 30's i found this book loaded w/info from salaries of players,attendance,injuries,holdouts,negro leagues and tons of baseball as well as general life in that era. so i thought if others out there like this era i would highly recomend this book.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Well I've not heard of that book. But I've others by Alexander, he's a great author. So thanks for posting, Dennis. I'll try to get a copy.<br /><br />I still kinda consider a 2002 book a "new" one. Still trying to read even older books I've yet to read.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Frank.
