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
4 posts | 6 read | 6 to read
Baseball was different in earlier days—tougher, rawer, more intimate—when giants like Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb ran the bases. In the monumental classic The Glory of Their Times, the golden era of our national pastime comes alive through the vibrant words of those who played and lived the game.

Early 1900's baseball as told by the men who played it. This book was so fun to read and I learned about a sport of which I barely had a working knowledge. I'm so glad Ritter understood how important it was to get their stories before it was too late. #ABookAboutSports #ReadHarder

Chief Meyers' advice is still relevant. I wish I could have been in the room to hear him.

This book has been so incredibly interesting and it just keeps getting better. I don't know about baseball, so I picked this for my Read Harder challenge.
