During the winter of 1913 and the spring of 1914 the New York Giants and the Chicago White Sox took a trip around the world. Organized by crusty John McGraw of the Giants and the White Soxs Charles Comiskey, it was a trip of epic proportionsa tour to end all tours recreated here in all its monumental sweep and comical detail.This book follows the two teams, whose members include Christy Mathewson, Jim Thorpe, and half a dozen other future HallofFamers, as they barnstorm across the United States and sail the seas to Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, finishing with a game before twenty thousand fans and King George V. Along the way, baseballs envoys meet such dignitaries as Pope Pius X, tea magnate Thomas Lipton, and the last khedive of Egypt. They play the tables of Monaco, survive a nearshipwreck, and cram a lifetimes worth of adventures into six months. Their story, told here for the first time, gives readers a glimpse into baseball history and the innocence and spirit of a longgone era.
