|  Produktbeschreibung (21870892): The Pittsburgh Crawfords were one of the Negro League´s best and most exciting teams. At the heart of the line-up were five men who would go on to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame: Satchel Paige, one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history; Josh Gibson, a hitting catcher who rivaled Babe Ruth; Cool Papa Bell, one of the game´s fastest runners; Oscar Charleston, perhaps one of the all-around best players; and Judy Johnson, a skilled third baseman. This work takes a close look at the lives and careers of these men and others who played for the Crawfords, all of whom together built one of the greatest teams ever to play the game. Also included are comparisons between the Crawfords and the 1927 ´´Murderer´s Row´´ New York Yankees, the Negro National League standings (1933-1938), and statistics about the players and team records. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 32.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (20981666): Great players - Grover Cleveland Alexander, Rogers Hornsby, Marty Marion, and Satchel Paige - tell their own stories, while Bill Veeck offers an account of his wild ride as the last Browns owner and Whitey Herzog shares regrets about the play that cost the Cardinals the 1985 World Series. From the days of the Gas House Gang to the 1944 ´´Streetcar Series,´´ from Bill Veeck´s legendary stunts to Mark McGwire´s pursuit of Roger Maris´s home-run record, the Reader will bring back memories for every fan. It takes in all of the magic of the ballpark - whether re-counting the unhittable pitching of Bob Gibson, the slugging prowess of Stan ´´The Man´´ Musial, or the sterling glove-work of Ozzie Smith - along with reflective commentaries that tell how Jackie Robinson confronted racism and Curt Flood challenged the reserve clause. St. Louis is a city blessed with a memorable baseball history, and ´´The St. Louis Baseball Reader´´ perfectly captures the joy and heartbreak of its winning and losing teams. It´s a book that will delight current fans of the Cardinals and old-timers who fondly recall the Browns. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 20.95 bestellen! |
