The autobiography of baseball

the inside story from the stars who played the game

By Wallace, Joseph

Publishers Summary:
"The Autobiography of Baseball lets us eavesdrop on the greatest stars of the game, from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Author Joseph Wallace has culled excerpts from little-known autobiographies, never-before-published interviews, and obscure newspaper and magazine articles to create a unique dialogue among these players. The Autobiography of Baseball includes countless revealing quotes, telling insights, and sometimes outrageous tales from great players that give us an unparalleled inside look at the highs and lows of a major-league career."--BOOK JACKET. "With a foreword by author and New York Times sports columnist Ira Berkow and illustrated with 160 stunning photographs, this book gives us a true sense of baseball greats as people. Wallace (The Baseball Anthology) has created a seamless narrative that tells what it's really like to be a star ballplayer, from childhood through sandlot and minor-league ball to major-league fame."--BOOK JACKET.
