Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball
"The tale Macht offers is often riveting" Library Journal. "[A] comprehensive and interesting portrait of one of baseball's most successful managers... A compelling look at a legend and an era" Kirkus Reviews. "[Includes] many fascinating details of baseball from the 1880s to 1914" Boston Globe. "Richly enjoyable" Roanoke Times. "Masterful... A must read for all historians of the national pastime, particularly those with an interest in Philadelphia sports" Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography. "No other baseball manager is going to win or lose as many games as Connie Mack did in his fifty years managing the Philadelphia Athletics.

Will, syndicated columnist and author of Men at Work: The Craft of Baseball.
