Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing. 25 cm. xix, [1], 262, [6] pages. Illustrations. Index of Names. Slight wear to DJ. Printed on acid-free paper. Larry Moffi is the author of three collections of poems, most recently A Citizen's Handbook, and three nonfiction books on baseball, The Conscience of the Game: Baseball's Commissioners from Landis to Selig; This Side of Cooperstown: An Oral History of Major League Baseball in the 1950s; and Crossing the Line: Black Major Leaguers, 1947-1959. His poems have appeared in such magazines as Poetry, The Ohio Review, TriQuarterly, The Antioch Review, Crazyhorse, and California Quarterly. Interviews with some of the best baseball players from the 1950's who did not make it into the Hall of Fame. Included are Virgil Trucks, Frank Thomas, Gene Woodling, Carl Erskine, Alex Grammas, Roy Sievers, Vern Law, Milt Bolling, and Tito Francona. Enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, is the ultimate honor for any major leaguer. This rousing, you-are-there history tells the story of seventeen legendary players who came up just short of Cooperstown: Virgil Trucks, Gene Woodling, Carl Erskine, Frank Thomas, and others. Collectively, the humorous, engaging, behind-the-scenes stories also tell the tale of baseball in the 1950s: a game performed on fields of grass and dirt, played by men who took trains from city to city and held off-season jobs. The New York Times applauded this oral history as "great fun," and sportscaster Mel Allen praised it as "a must-read for anyone who wants to know where today's game came from and what it can become once again." Former Commissioner of Baseball Fay Vincent noted that "Oral historians like Moffi do us the service of preserving what these men have to say about their baseball lives. These are players who gave me much enjoyment and so did this fine book. You will agree.".

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - serve--'the fans, the sport, the best interests of the game, or the owners As Larry Moffi explains, that question has had different answers at different times. As the game has changed, so too have the responsibilities of the commissioner. Born out of controversy to help resolve the crisis brought on by the Black Sox Scandal of 1919, when the White Sox threw the World Series, the commissioner's role has always drawn attention and put the officeholders in the public spotlight. By comparing commissioners' performances in terms of their responsibilities and how they addressed them, Moffi profiles how some commissioners rose to the occasion and others failed. For example, he discusses in depth Happy Chandler's management of the crisis that arose around Jackie Robinson's arrival in the Major Leagues and Bart Giamatti's and then Fay Vincent's reactions to the Pete Rose scandal. Different perspectives on the commissioner's mission have led to the infighting and power struggles that have helped shape the game to the present day. In this unique history of the office, set against the backdrop of Bud Selig's bad day of congressional testimony, Moffi asks where the commissioner's place in baseball went wrong. After interviewing all of the living commissioners, including Selig, as well as speaking to baseball historians and fans about the unique character of the position, Moffi suggests a future role for the office of the commissioner that is something more than the current owner-friendly first among equals definition. In the end, the conscience of the game can continue to have a profound impact on the future of the game.
