Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At one time Ring Lardners baseball articles reached millions of readers through hundreds of newspapers throughout America, and admirers of his writing included F. Scott Fitzgerald and Edmond Wilson. He was as familiar to Americans in the 1920s as Charles Lindbergh, Calvin Coolidge, and Babe Ruth. His articles about the players he knew, his World Series coverage, his poems, parodies, and jokes were unlike any other baseball reporting ever written, both in his time and since. Even a hundred years later, Lardners baseball journalism makes for delightful, often wildly funny, reading and offers a glimpse of where his ground-breaking baseball fiction came from. This book contain Lardners columns about Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Casey Stengel, and Three-Finger Mordecai Brown as well as some fabulous lesser-known characters like Frank Schulte, Heine Zimmerman, Jim Schekard, Johnny Kling, Rollie Zeider, and Peaches Graham, as well as examples of Lardners coverage of a number of World Seriesincluding the notorious 1919 Black Sox Series. Ron Rapoports introduction puts Lardner in his time and place and explains how his writing about baseball developed over the years. At one time Ring Lardner's baseball articles reached millions of readers through more than one hundred newspapers throughout America. This book contains Lardner's columns as well as examples of Lardner's coverage of a number of World Series-including the notorious 1919 Black Sox Series.
