{"product_id":"early-baseballs-greatest-players-jack-sher-9781532976322","title":"Early Baseball's Greatest Players","description":"Each of the profiles contained in this book first appeared in the pages of Sport magazine under the title \"Sport Special\"-an intimate, nearly-book-length biography of a sports icon, an account of his life that would omit nothing and reveal all, whether the revelation was favorable or damning. Into these \"Specials\" went far more than gleanings from the clipping-files and scraps of dugout conversation. Author Jack Sher spent long hours in intimate discourse with these titans or with those who knew them. Probing behind the statistics, asking questions that reveal character, talking to enemies as well as friends, Sher poured into his manuscripts genuine humanity, rather than the corny stuff that's often miscalled \"human interest.\" - Honus Wagner - Christy Mathewson - Ty Cobb - Grover Cleveland Alexander - Babe Ruth - Rogers Hornsby - Lou Gehrig - Dizzy Dean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Sher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1532976321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781532976322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Jack Sher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936850182399,"sku":"9781532976322","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_652d05aa-b0a1-4969-8bf6-ef2d9dcdd189.jpg?v=1681427035","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-baseballs-greatest-players-jack-sher-9781532976322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
