A threetime World Series winner and an early inductee into the Hall of Fame, lauded by Babe Ruth as the finest defensive outfielder he ever saw and described as 'perfection on the field' by the great Grantland Rice, Tris Speaker enjoys the peculiar distinction of being one of the leastknown legends of baseball history. Tris Speaker: The RoughandTumble Life of a Baseball Legend is the first book to tell the full story of Speakers turbulent life and to document in sharp detail the grit and glory of his pivotal role in baseballs deadball era.Playing for the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians in the early part of the twentieth century, Tris Spoke Speaker put up numbers that amaze us even today: his record for career doubles792may never be approached, let alone broken. Tris Speaker explores the colorful life behind the statistics, introducing readers to a complex and contradictory Texan whose cowboy mentality never left him as he brawled his way through two decades in the big leagues.Speakers career put him in the company of Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson, Shoeless Joe Jackson and Honus Wagner, and in describing it Timothy M. Gay gives a rousing account of some of the best baseball ever playedand some of the darkest moments that ever tainted a game and hastened the end of a career. His four years of research on Speaker unearthed a document that suggests that cheating induced by gambling was far more widespread in early baseball than officials have acknowledged. Gays book captures the bygone spirit of the big leagues roughandtumble early years and restores one of baseballs true greatsand a truly largerthanlife personalityto his rightful place in the American sports pantheon.Purchase the audio edition.
