A Founding Father of modern baseball, Connie Mack was the manager and part owner of the Philadelphia Athletics from 1901 to 1950. A dashing figure in business suit and straw skimmer, "Mr. Mack" holds the record for most wins — and losses — by a manager. Enhanced by 70 photographs, his warmhearted autobiography is populated by many legends of the game.
Reprint of the John C. Winston Co., Philadelphia, 1950 edition.
