First edition. A solid, very good plus example, tight and with only modest rubbing at the extremities and very slight rubbing to the cover cartoon; small previous owner's signature front free endpaper. Octavo hardcover in mustard colored cloth with red, white and green tipped on front cover baseball cartoon, spine lettered and decorated in black. 218 pp. With sixteen monochrome photographic plates including portraits of Hall of Famers Jim O'Rourke, John McGraw, Connie Mack and Hugh Jennings as well as other notable minor league officials and a composite team portrait of the Charlotte Base Ball Club of 1902 (see below for important information on this image). Historical and often humorous anecdotes on baseball's minor leagues around the tunr of the 20th century. Ed Ashenback was the manager of the Syracuse team in the New York State League at time of publication, having played minor league ball from 1890 to 1904. Of particular importance is the composite team photo of the 1902 Charlotte team of the North Carolina League that features as a pictured member Archibald "Moonlight" Graham, the obscure player (he played one inning for the 1905 New York Giants and never came to bat) who achieved legendary status as a pivitol figure in W.P. Kinsella's "Shoeless Joe" and the movie "Field of Dreams". An extremely scarce baseball title.

First edition. Contemporary biography of the Hall of Fame owner of the Chicago White Sox. Comiskey, a player of some repute in the 1880s and 90s, became one of the game's leading magnates and was influential in the formation of the American League. Ironically, this biography was published mere months before the downfall and disgraceof his team when eight players were banned forever from baseball for consiring to throw the 1919 World Series. Despite the laudatory tone of this biography, Comiskey's cheapness and ill-use of his players, such as Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Chic Gandil and Swede Risberg, are thought to be a prime cause of the Series fix. Illustrated with photos. This is a tight, bright, clean copy (far better than usually found) whose only fault is a pair of light moisture spots on the spine. Lacking the rare dust jacket.
