{"product_id":"under-pallor-under-shadow-bill-felber-9780803234710","title":"Under Pallor, Under Shadow: The 1920 American League Pennant Race That Rattled and Rebuilt Baseball","description":"Babe Ruth, in his first season with the Yankees in 1920, was on pace to break the single-season home run record. In August Indians shortstop Ray Chapman was beaned by a pitch thrown by the Yankees' Carl Mays during a game in New York and died the next day. In September a grand jury convened in Chicago, and four White Sox players were called to testify about fixing the 1919 World Series. Focusing on the Cleveland Indians, the Chicago White Sox, and the New York Yankees, this book takes us back to a pivotal season when baseball was shaken by tragedy and scandal and when power shifted irretrievably from the teams' owners to a single commissioner. The struggle for the soul of baseball, both on the field and off, is the story of how the entire American League structure changed. Following the fortunes of baseball's stars of 1920, \u003ci\u003eUnder Pallor, Under Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e shows us how a unique opportunity for reform was squandered and how the result was the transfer of authority from one powerful dictator (Ban Johnson) to another (Judge K. M. Landis). The first book to tie together the disparate elements of the 1920 pennant race, \u003ci\u003eUnder Pallor, Under Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e shows us America's pastime at a critical moment in the nation's cultural history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Felber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803234716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803234710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.71h x 5.86w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2011 pg. 284","brand":"Bill Felber","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926182985983,"sku":"9780803234710","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9946872a-9297-47af-96da-05cf7537eb3f.jpg?v=1681081661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-pallor-under-shadow-bill-felber-9780803234710","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
