Connie Mack (18621956) was the Grand Old Man of baseball and one of the games first true celebrities. This book, spanning the first fiftytwo years of Macks life, through 1914, covers his experiences as player, manager, and club owner and will stand as the definitive biography of baseballs most legendary and beloved figure.Norman L. Macht chronicles Macks littleknown beginnings. He tells how Mack, a school dropout at fourteen, created strategies for winning baseball and principles for managing men long before there were notions of defining such subjects. And he details how Mack, a key figure in the launching of the American League in 1901, won six of the leagues first fourteen pennants while serving as manager, treasurer, general manager, traveling secretary, and public relations and scouting director (all at the same time) for the Philadelphia Athletics.This book brings to life the unruly origins of baseball as a sport and a business. It also provides the first complete and accurate picture of a character who was larger than life and yet little known: the tricky, rulebending catcher; the peppery field leader and fan favorite; the hottempered young manager. Illustrated with family photographs never before published, it affords unique insight into a colorful personality who helped shape baseball as we know it today.
