The Glory of Their Times

A true classic in the pantheon of baseball writing, this book by Lawrence S. Ritter presents the stories and recollections of early twentieth-century players like Fred Snodgrass, Hank Greenberg, and Lefty O'Doul in their own words. Although fuzzy, black-and-white images often come to mind when we envision that bygone era, the colorful personalities that emerge in these pages are full of life.
