Signed by the author on the endpaper. This book tells the story of one of baseball's monumental figures, and perhaps the greatest pitcher of all time. He was a star second to none from the dawn of the game's moder era through the Roaring Twenties, and his modest, decent, and honest demeaner and stardom helped keep baseball alive during its darkest hour, the infamous "Black Sox" scandal. This book is in near fine condition, with light rubbing along the edges of the dust jacket.
