Before the feuding owners turned to Ed Barrow to be general manager in 1920, the Yankees had never won a pennant. They won their first in 1921 and during Barrows tenure went on to win thirteen more as well as ten World Series. This biography of the incomparable Barrow is also the story of how he built the most successful sports franchise in American history. Barrow spent fifty years in baseball. He was in the middle of virtually every major conflict and held practically every job except player. Daniel R. Levitt describes Barrow's preYankees years, when he managed Babe Ruth and the Boston Red Sox to their last World Series Championship before the curse. He then details how Barrow assembled a winning Yankees team both by purchasing players outright and by developing talent through a farm system. The story of the making of the great Yankees dynasty reveals Barrows genius for organizing, for recognizing baseball talent, and for exploiting the existing economic environment. Because Barrow was a player in so many of baseballs key events, his biography gives a clear and eyeopening picture of how Americas sport was played in the twentieth century, on the field and off. A complex portrait of a largerthanlife character in the annals of baseball, this book is also an inside history of how the sports competitive environment evolved and how the Yankees came to dominate it.
