The Glory of Their Times

The Glory of Their Times: The Story of the Early Days of Baseball Told by the Men Who Played It
Lawrence S. Ritter - 2010 HarperCollins Publishers

This book is hands down one of the most incredible sports books of all times.

The format for this book are interviews with baseball players who played ball at the turn of the century.   The game and the players have changed since then but the players' accounts of those times are honest and enjoyable.

Look out for great parts including: Germany Schaefer's stealing first from second and his home run exploit that follows and pictures of Tris Speaker and Smokey Joe Wood as roommates.

A fantastic read and absolute must for baseball fans.
