Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. 263, [1] pages. Illustrations. Joseph P. Durso (June 22, 1924 - December 31, 2004) was an American sportswriter for The New York Times from 1950 until his death, most noted for his coverage of baseball. Joseph Durso, a sports writer who worked for The New York Times for 51 years and wrote many books on sports history. Durso regularly covered the Mets, the Yankees and the Kentucky Derby. In 1995, he was recognized by the Baseball Writers Association of America for his contributions to baseball writing with its J.G. Taylor Spink Award. He is among the writers and broadcasters honored at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. Durso co-authored "My Luke and I" with Eleanor Gehrig, the widow of Yankees Lou Gehrig. The book was made into a television film in 1978, starring Blythe Danner, Edward Herrmann and Patricia Neal. He wrote biographies of Casey Stengel, Joe DiMaggio and John McGraw; a memoir of the Yankees years, with Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford; histories of Yankee Stadium. This is the story of America's game, America's pastime, from the days of Cartwright to Connie Mack, baseball in the Gay nineties and the Roaring Twenties. Traces the history of baseball, discusses its connections with the development of the U.S., and looks at important and colorful personalities in the game. Derived from a review posted on line by Reed Communications: The senior baseball writer for the New York Times has attempted an almost impossible task, the history of baseball from its inception in 1871 to the present. Durso has managed to infuse his account with a great deal of drama when describing the effects of the game on the great events of the times and vice versa. All the important people and stories are highlighted, from John McGraw to Ty Cobb to Babe Ruth, and from the Chicago Black Sox scandal to the New York Yankees domination of the game and the reserve clause breakthrough that freed the players from the owners' domination. There is a particularly affecting segment on Jackie Robinson. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

All of the great moments, the great performances, the great players in the history of St. Louis Cardinals baseball history comes together in this special commemorative book from The Sporting News. From the Gashouse Gang to Big Mac, from Sportsman's Park to Busch Stadium, from Harry Caray to Jack Buck, Cardinal Nation celebrates everything that makes the Cardinals a special franchise. Includes a special foreword Mr. Cardinal himself, Stan Musial. The St. Louis Cardinals are an American professional baseball team based in St. Louis. The Cardinals compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) Central division. Since the 2006 season, the Cardinals have played their home games at Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis. One of the nation's oldest and most successful professional baseball clubs, the Cardinals have won 11 World Series championships, the most of any NL team and second in MLB only to the New York Yankees. The team has won 19 National League pennants, third-most of any team. St. Louis has also won 14 division titles in the East and Central divisions. In 1881, entrepreneur Chris von der Ahe purchased the Brown Stockings barnstorming club, renamed it the St. Louis Browns, and made it a charter member of the American Association baseball league. The team won four league championships, qualifying them to play in the era's professional baseball championship series, a forerunner of the modern World Series. In two of these championships, the Browns met the Chicago White Stockings, now the Chicago Cubs launching the enduring Cardinals-Cubs rivalry. In 1892, the Browns - also called the Perfectos - joined the National League. In 1900, the team was renamed the Cardinals. (Two years later, an unrelated St. Louis Browns team joined the American League.) Notable Cardinals achievements include manager/owner Branch Rickey's invention of the farm system, Rogers Hornsby's two batting Triple Crowns, Dizzy Dean's 30-win season in 1934, Stan Musial's 17 MLB and 29 NL records, Bob Gibson's 1.12 earned run average (ERA) in 1968, Whitey Herzog's Whiteyball, Mark McGwire's single-season home run record in 1998, and the 2011 championship team's unprecedented comebacks. The Cardinals have won 105 or more games in four seasons and won 100 or more nine times. Cardinals players have won 20 league MVPs, four batting Triple Crowns, and three Cy Young Awards. Baseball Hall of Fame inductees include Lou Brock, Dizzy Dean, Bob Gibson, Whitey Herzog, Rogers Hornsby, Joe Medwick, Stan Musial, Enos Slaughter, Branch Rickey, Red Schoendienst, Ozzie Smith, Ted Simmons, and Bruce Sutter. In 2018, Forbes valued the Cardinals at $1.9 billion, 7th-highest among MLB clubs and far more than the $147 million paid in 1995 by owner William DeWitt, Jr.'s investment group. In 2017, the team took in revenue of $319 million on an operating income of $40.0 million. John Mozeliak is the President of Baseball Operations, Mike Girsch is the general manager and Oliver Marmol is the manager. The Cardinals are renowned for their strong fan support: despite being in one of the sport's mid-level markets, they routinely see attendances among the league's highest, and are consistently among the top three in MLB in local television ratings. Through 2021, the Cardinals' all-time win-loss record is 11,038-10,163 (.521).

Lowell Reidenbaugh(1919-2007) became one of the most significant sports journalists of his time. He was the managing editor of The Sporting News from 1958 to 1979. Reidenbaugh was credited for developing the weekly publication's reputation as the "Bible of Baseball." He retired from The Sporting News in 1989 as senior editor and corporate editor. He also wrote a book about the history of The Sporting News. "From 1947 to 1989, no one had a greater impact on The Sporting News than Lowell Reidenbaugh," said current senior editor Ron Smith. "He wore many hats - writer, managing editor, author - and was a critical force in the sports weekly's evolution. Lowell was a mentor, a gentleman and an inspiration - a proud leader who brought superior journalistic instincts and professionalism to the job for 42 years." He served in the Army during World War II. His career in journalism began with the Intelligencer Journal in Lancaster. He then joined the Philadelphia Inquirer sports department in 1946, followed by The Sporting News in 1947. Reidenbaugh was also a reportedly national authority on Confederate campaigns in the Civil War, especially those involving Stonewall Jackson. Join The Sporting News for a trip through the sacred halls of Cooperstown, where the ghosts of Baseball past gather for a final tip of the hat, one last swing at a hanging curve, one last triumphant pass around the bases, one last impossible dream-and one final, glorious victory. The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is a history museum and hall of fame in Cooperstown, New York, operated by private interests. It serves as the central point of the history of baseball in the United States and displays baseball-related artifacts and exhibits, honoring those who have excelled in playing, managing, and serving the sport. The Hall's motto is "Preserving History, Honoring Excellence, Connecting Generations". Cooperstown is often used as shorthand (or a metonym) for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The Hall of Fame was established in 1939 by Stephen Carlton Clark, an heir to the Singer Sewing Machine fortune. Clark sought to bring tourists to a city hurt by the Great Depression, which reduced the local tourist trade, and Prohibition, which devastated the local hops industry. Clark constructed the Hall of Fame's building, which was dedicated on June 12, 1939. (His granddaughter, Jane Forbes Clark, is the current chairman of the board of directors.) The claim that Civil War hero Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown was instrumental in the early marketing of the Hall. The Sporting News is a website and former magazine publication owned by Sporting News Holdings, which is a U.S.-based sports media company formed in December 2020 by a private investor consortium. It was originally established in 1886 as a print magazine. It became the dominant American publication covering baseball, acquiring the nickname "The Bible of Baseball". From 2002 to February 2022, it was known simply as Sporting News. In December 2012, The Sporting News ended print publication and shifted to a digital-only publication. It currently has editions in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan. March 17, 1886: The Sporting News (TSN), founded in St. Louis by Alfred H. Spink, a director of the St. Louis Browns baseball team, publishes its first edition. The weekly newspaper sells for 5 cents. Baseball, horse racing and professional wrestling received the most coverage in the first issue. Meanwhile, the sporting weeklies Clipper and Sporting Life were based in New York and Philadelphia.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 351, [1] pages. Illustrations (many in color). Format is 9.25 inches by 11.5 inches. From its exclusive archives, The Sporting News recreates a century of baseball's modern era, from 1901 through 2000. Baseball is a look at baseball history and how The Sporting News--the Bible of Baseball--covered the legendary players and events, from Babe Ruth and his 1927 season to Mark McGuire and his 1998 season. From Lou Gehrig's farewell address at Yankee Stadium, to Cal Ripken's Iron Man--breaking celebration at Camden Yards. Publishing since 1886, The Sporting News not only has a unique perspective in covering the game of baseball since its beginning, but also has played a unique role in the creation of the game, from the birth of the American League to the save. It's a history of baseball like none other done before. The Sporting News is the publication that discussed baseball with Ban Johnson, the American League founder who forced baseball into the twentieth century, criticized Fred Merkle when he forgot to touch second base, chronicled the rise and fall of the Federal League, mourned when the black cloud of scandal tarnished the game and celebrated when a charismatic slugger named Babe Ruth returned its luster. No publication was more intricately tied to baseball when it struggled through the depression, did its patriotic part of the war effort and then experienced the fruits of a technological revolution that triggered growth, expansion, and economic rewards beyond anybody's wildest imagination.
