Backed by Henry V. Lucas, an impetuous 26-year-old millionaire from St. Louis, the UA existed for one chaotic season in 1884. This first full-length history of the Union Association tells the captivating story of the league's brief and enigmatic existence. Lucas recruited a wild mix of disgruntled stars, misfits, crooks, has-beens, drunks, and the occasional spectator--along with a future star or two. The result was a bizarre experiment that sowed both turmoil and hope before fading into oblivion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Justin McKinney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476680604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476680606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland and Company, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.92h x 6.93w x 0.63d","brand":"Justin McKinney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073697181951,"sku":"9781476680606","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0f19107-9df8-4daa-8b70-25e7183f6f97.jpg?v=1685449362","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/baseballs-union-association-justin-mckinney-9781476680606","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
