Written by the man Tom Seaver calls "one of the few true baseball historians today," this book portrays the lives of the greatest stars, showing how they were shaped by their times and how their legends reflect the changes in our society over the last 100 years. Includes profiles of Ty Cobb, unreconstructed southern fireband; big, brassy Babe Ruth; Dizzy Dean, the rube who outsmarted the city slickers; Joe DiMaggio, aloof and perfect; American hero Mickey Mantle; black icon Jackie Robinson; and controversial slugger Reggie Jackson. B&W photos.
