The Story of the Early Days of Baseball Told by the Men Who Played It

De: Lawrence S. Ritter

Narrado por: Various

Baseball's Golden Age comes alive through the voices of men who were there. Selected from the original tapes on which Lawrence S. Ritter based his classic book of baseball history, The Glory of Their Times is a collection of wonderful tales that paint a vivid and evocative picture of a lively young America and the giants who starred on her ballfields, legends like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson, and many others. From the wildly hilarious to the achingly poignant, these stories tell it like it really was.(P)1961 -65 National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum Inc. and the University of Notre Dame Library Recording

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Almost perfect...vivid, gentle, and humorous." (The New Yorker)

The best made better!

The best baseball book ever—made even better with Lawrence Ritter’s brilliant and illuminating interviews available for listening. WONDERFUL experience!

Wonderful stories from the players who lived them

I had read the print copy of this book years ago. It’s a fantastic view into the early days of major league baseball. The beauty of the audiobook is hearing the players’ stories in their own voices. A real joy for a fan of the game!

Great stories

The best cause you get to hear the ball players in there own words.

Classic!

To hear the stars of the early days of baseball tell stories is priceless and timeless!

A pleasure t hear

Above all else, what struck me was the joy that these ex-players took in relating tales of the past. Ritter knew the past history of baseball, and that seemed to open up his interviewees. I heard more genuine laughter here than in any audiobook that I have listened to. And it was ,ore tha genuine than the canned laughter one hears on television.
A totally enjoyable experience. I only wish that this Audible production was longer.
