Baseball's Greatest Season, 1924

Presents the thrill of baseball in the season of 1924, a season like no other in the history of the game for escalating excitement and emotional investment by fans. In alternating chapters of narrative and analysis, the author explains how this season marked the last time a team playing old-fashioned "inside" baseball won the championship. Includes discussion on how baseball operated as a business in the 1920s, who the major league ballplayers were, what the fans and ballparks were like, how the game was played, and why the Washington club was able to win.
