Seller's Description:
Very good in Good jacket. [10], 342, [6] pages. Illustrations. Index. DJ has some wear and soiling. The New York Times sports columnist, Ira Berkow, describes Baseball America as "part history, part biography, part drama, and a complete pleasure. Donald Martin Honig (born 1931 in New York City) is a novelist, historian and editor who mostly writes about baseball. While a member of the Bobo Newsom Memorial Society, an informal group of writers, Honig attempted to convince Lawrence Ritter to write a sequel to his 1966 book The Glory of their Times. Pleading time limitations, Ritter declined to attempt such a book himself, but gave Honig his blessing, leading to the books Baseball When the Grass Was Real (1975) and Baseball Between The Lines (1976). Over the next 19 years, Honing produced 40 books about baseball. He collaborated with Ritter on The 100 Greatest Baseball Players of All Time in 1981. He also published several illustrated histories of long-standing franchises. Honig published his most recent baseball book, The Fifth Season, in 2009. Honig was also a frequent contributor of short stories to Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. Drawn from hundreds of hours of interviews with players from all eras of the game, Baseball America is a warm, nostalgic, yet keenly analytical look ad our nation and its National Pastime. In Baseball America, Donald Honig casts his discerning eye on this national within a nation. In vivid, unforgettable prose he portrays the lives of the game's greatest starts; how they were shaped by their times, and how their lives and legends reflect the changes in our society over the past hundred years. Every great player represents his unique time and place in American history: Christy Mathewson, the gentlemanly scholar-athlete, provided an idealized hero for a time of innocence; Ty Cobb, unreconstructed southern firebrand, avenged the honor of Dixie on the playing fields of the North; Babe Ruth, big and brassy, roared with the best of them in the Roaring Twenties; Dizzy Dean, child of the vanishing rural heartland, was the pure dumb rube who outsmarted the slickest city slicker; Joe DiMaggio, aloof and perfect, was the pride of the rising urban immigrant population; Ted Williams, a true John Wayne character with swagger to match, slammed line drives and dodged real bullets over the Pacific with equal and absolute confidence; Jackie Robinson, progressing from silent, stoic symbol to outspoken leader, foreshadowed the shifts in the civil right movement in the decade to follow; Mickey Mantle, America's Hero, fell under the time of his injuries and the spell of the Big City; and Pete Rose, embodiment of the contradictions of our age of celebrity, became a symbol of the work ethic wile earning a million a year playing a boys' game.
