More Praise for Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball

Connie_mack Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball
by Norman L. Macht

“Maybe never in baseball history has one man labored for so long with such ultimate success. Norman Macht has brought us the true Connie Mack, and has done so in a most readable and informative style. How can you not love a book that begins, ‘The Irish had a bad year in 1846, finishing last in the international league. For the third straight year, the potato crop had failed like a staff of sore-armed pitchers.’? We should all spend the next 22 years turning out a triumph such as Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball,” clearly a major highlight of the 2007 baseball season.”—John Shiffert, “19 to 21” column at BaseballLibrary.com
