Just finished Autumn Glory: Baseball's First World Series by Louis Masur and regard it to be a top-shelf book, a great baseball history read. It's a game-by-game, play-by-play account of the Boston-Pittsburg match-up, interspersed with enough anecdotal material about the likes of Wagner and Young and NufCed McGreevy to please any wingnut. Masur does an excellent job of recreating the feel of the era. Published in 2003, available at Amazon. Any of youse that reads the book, visit the Royal Rooters website. http://www.royalrooters.com/ Click on "Download Tessie Real Audio Format." You will hear an original 1903 recording of "that damn Tessie song," scratches and all.
