Before teams measured their well-being by the number of corporate boxes in their ballpark and the cable contract in their pocket. It was the last season of baseball’s most colorful and nostalgic period.It was surely not a more innocent time. The... [Read More]

Breaking Babe Ruth: Baseball's Campaign Against Its Biggest Star (Sports and American Culture)

Rather than as a Falstaffian figure of limited intellect, Edmund Wehrle reveals Babe Ruth as an ambitious, independent operator, one not afraid to challenge baseball’s draconian labor system.
