The Old Ball Game: How John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, and the New York Giants Created Modern Baseball by Frank Deford

3.0

Baseball book that looks into early 20th century era's legends Christy Matthewson and John McGraw. It's a familiar story to me as I love this era of baseball history but I enjoyed it all the same. Deford has a crisp, simple style that I like but I was annoyed he kept calling McGraw "Mugsy" when he didn't like that nickname. Kind of disrespectful.
