About the book

In 1910 auto magnate Hugh Chalmers offered an automobile to the baseball player with the highest batting average that season. What followed was a batting race unlike any before or since, between the greatest but most despised hitter, Detroit?s Ty Cobb, and the American League?s first superstar, Cleveland?s popular Napoleon Lajoie. This book captures the excitement of this strange contest?one that has yet to be resolved.
