{"product_id":"frank-selee-richard-bressler-9781476682044","title":"Frank Selee: Hall of Fame Manager of the Boston Beaneaters and Chicago Cubs","description":"\u003cp\u003e One of the best managers in the early years of professional baseball, Frank Selee (1859-1909) built two great teams. The Boston Beaneaters of the 1890s won five National League pennants during his tenure. The Chicago Cubs won four National League pennants and two World Series immediately after his period as manager--mostly with players he assembled. Selee's teams earned reputations for sportsmanship during an era known for dirty play, and Selee himself was known as a congenial man at a time when many managers and players had were considered loutish or combative. This biography tells the story of one of baseball's notable nice guys, who honed his craft to succeed in a ruthlessly competitive business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Bressler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476682046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476682044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Richard Bressler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485290606847,"sku":"9781476682044","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2778960a-fc05-464b-8546-06632361ea5e.jpg?v=1778049020","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frank-selee-richard-bressler-9781476682044","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
