The voices of the game's distant past continue to reverberate with a distinct freshness in Lawrence S. Ritter's The Glory of Their Times. An oral history of the game in the first two decades of the century, Glory sends out its impressive roster of players to tell their own stories, and what stories they tell--the story of their times as well as of their game; the scorecard includes Rube Marquard, Babe Herman, Stan Coveleski, Smoky Joe Wood, and Wahoo Sam Crawford. A delight from cover to cover, Glory is the next best thing to having been there in the days when the ball may have been dead, but the personalities were anything but.
From Library Journal
Shortly after the death of legendary baseball player Ty Cobb in 1961, Ritter, armed with a portable tape recorder, attempted to obtain an oral history of early-20th-century baseball from Cobb's contemporaries. The edited transcription of the interviews he obtained became a best seller and went to several editions. This audio, accompanied by a 32-page booklet of photos, is a modern release (also available on CD) of Ritter's interviews with Fred Snodgrass, Sam Crawford, Hans Lobert, Rube Bressler, Chief Meyers, Davy Jones, Rube Marquard, Joe Wood, Lefty O'Doul, Jimmy Austin, Goose Goslin, and Bill Wambsganss, as selected by producers Henry W. Thomas and Neal McCabe. It is quirky, charming, witty, and fun. What a love for baseball they all had! An essential purchase for all sports audio collections.?Cliff Glaviano, Bowling Green State Univ. Libs., OH

Format:Taschenbuch
The players interviewed for this book, some 50 years after playing the game, have got wonderful stories all over this book. It is interesting to hear how almost all of them got their break in baseball by playing for a city team, and just happening to get noticed one day when one would just happen to have a good day when the owner of a team was around. You learn more than just about the players interviewed since they tell stories about guys like Christy Mathewson, and even about an deaf mute outfielder that called for the ball by making an odd squeaking sound. Great stuff!
Format:Audio CD
The glory of their times is ,simply the greatest baseball compilation ever recorded{Roger angel's books are better,different,in that they are ESSAY'S]Reading and re-reading this book,I wondered what it actually sounded like to record this,to expierence.Well, after purchasing this cD,I know. This is the greatest baseball find I could imagine.the quality of the recordings is uniformly good[some parts are less audible then others].The content is pure joy.How wonderful to HEAR sam Crawford, Lefty O'Doul[were there any finer men to play baseball?]One can only wish that someone had done the same with the great Negro League players ...alas,though that does not detract from this Brilliant recording{s].I would give it 6 10 a pantheon of stars...it is that good
Format:Taschenbuch
I can unequivocally state that this book is one of the greatest books about baseball that I've ever read. Each player offers information, anectdotes, and humorous tales of the wonderful world of life between the foul lines. Take note of such under-appreciated turn-of-the-century ballplayers as Sam Crawford, Rube Waddell, and "Germany" Schaefer. Truly outstanding.
