Sports History Book Club

Apologies for not creating an event for the month of November. We are going to discuss the book:
Blurb:
The Glory of Their Times: The Story of the Early Days of Baseball Told by the Men Who Played It is a 1966 book, edited by Lawrence Ritter, telling the stories of early 20th century baseball. It is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest books ever written about baseball.

The interviews were made between 1962 and 1966. The book was published in September 1966, following four years of research, interviews and preparation. An enlarged edition was issued in 1984, with the additions of George Gibson, Babe Herman, Specs Toporcer, and Hank Greenberg. A positive review by Wilfred Sheed in The New York Times Book Section helped propel the book, though it never hit the best-seller list.[3] This book has been in print for most of the last 35 years, selling 360,000 copies.

Looking forward for the discussion.
