1st Recollections of pre-war players

Posted By: Rob D.

I know I read this book as a 12-year-old no less than 10 times and the chapter on Cobb at least 20 times. Reading about his intensity on the field not only piqued my interest in that era of baseball but also impacted me in how I played the game. The one thing I always took pride in was sliding hard into second base and breaking up would-be double-plays. I know that was instilled from reading as a pre-teen about Ty Cobb. I'm really glad I saved my copy of this book all these years. (The cards on the cover, by the way, belonged to Larry Fritsch.)
