The national game

About this book

"The National Game chronicles baseball's popular successes and financial failures; its interleague wars and continuing struggles between owners and players; and its accommodations, to radio and television. Mr. Rossi shows how the game has been able to survive a number of crises throughout its history without altering its fundamental nature, and how it has sought to adjust to changing audiences. Yet he tells the story without neglecting the colorful players and managers, and the great teams, that have won the hearts of fans."--BOOK JACKET.
