"No matter what I talk about, I always get back to baseball": My 66 Years in the Big Leagues : The Great Story of America's National Game
First edition of the baseball legend's autobiography. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated, photographic endpapers. Boldly signed by Connie Mack on the title page. Fine in a very good dust jacket. With a tribute by Francis Trevelyan Miller. Uncommon signed.
A Founding Father of modern baseball, Cornelius Alexander McGillicuddy started out as a catcher and moved on to become the consummate manager and part owner of the Philadelphia Athletics from 1901 to 1950. Better known as Connie Mack, he cut a dashing figure clad in a business suit and straw skimmer. With an even-tempered manner, "Mr. Mack" was regarded as a unique combination of coach and father figure by his players—who included such all-time greats as Ty Cobb, Lefty Grove, and Chief Bender. This engaging autobiography, written with his characteristic warmth and enthusiasm, reads like a history of baseball during the first half of the twentieth century.
