{"product_id":"baseball-in-dallas-chris-holaday-9780738532820","title":"Baseball in Dallas","description":"The city of Dallas has a rich baseball history extending back to the 1870s when the professional game first found roots in Texas. In 1888, the Dallas Hams were a founding member (and first champion) of the professional Texas League. With the major leagues far away to the north, a relationship was established between the city of Dallas and one of America's premier minor league. It lasted on and off until 1971, when the Texas Rangers entered Major League Baseball. During that by-gone era, players like Curley Maloney, Jewel Ens, and Zeke Bonura were the heroes for countless local baseball fans. Hall of Famers Ted Williams (as manager), Fergie Jenkins, and Nolan Ryan all spent time in a Rangers' uniform. In more recent times, Ranger players like Rafael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzalez, and Ivan Rodriguez have become heroes to baseball fans across the nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Holaday, Mark Presswood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738532827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738532820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.50w x 0.34d","brand":"Chris Holaday","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055918838015,"sku":"9780738532820","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9148a717-e900-4c2a-a6c1-738adee9c912.jpg?v=1685038527","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/baseball-in-dallas-chris-holaday-9780738532820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
