Baseball Between the Wars

About this book

Featuring vintage baseball photographs. From the archives of the "Chicago Tribune, Chicago Herald, and "Chicago Herald-American, this remarkable collection of baseball photographs resurrects the game's nostalgic past, a golden age when players were more accessible and photographers worked closer to their subjects. The names of those pictured--Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb--will be familiar to fans, but the spontaneous poses, such as Babe Ruth donning a fireman's helmet for the outfield cameras, may not be. The sense of informal fun of a long-gone baseball era is uniquely captured in the pages of "Baseball Between the Wars.
