Opis

Connie Mack (1862a"1956) was the Grand Old Man of baseball and one of the gamea's first true celebrities. This book spanning the first fifty-two years of Macka's life through 1914 covers his experiences as player manager and club owner and will stand as the definitive biography of baseballa's most legendary and beloved figure.A Norman L. Macht chronicles Macka's little-known beginnings. He tells how Mack a school dropout at fourteen created strategies for winning baseball and principles for managing men long before there were notions of defining such subjects. And he details how Mack a key figure in the launching of the American League in 1901 won six of the leaguea's first fourteen pennants while serving as manager treasurer general manager traveling secretary and public relations and scouting director (all at the same time) for the Philadelphia Athletics.This book brings to life the unruly origins of baseball as a sport and a business. It also provides the first complete and accurate picture of a character who was larger than life and yet little known: the tricky rule-bending catcher; the peppery field leader and fan favourite; the hot-tempered young manager. Illustrated with family photographs never before published it affords unique insight into a colourful personality who helped shape baseball as we know it today.
