My Greatest Day in Baseball – Bantam #500 Paperback Featuring Babe Ruth, Mel Ott, and Leo Durocher

Description

A classic of postwar sportswriting, My Greatest Day in Baseball (Bantam #500, 1948) gathers firsthand accounts from 47 legends of the game—including Babe Ruth, Mel Ott, Leo Durocher, Frankie Frisch, Honus Wagner, Dizzy Dean, Lefty Grove, Dazzy Vance, George Sisler, Gabby Hartnett, Bill Terry, Carl Hubbell, Bob Feller, Ted Lyons, Charlie Gehringer, and Rogers Hornsby. Each recounts the career-defining moment that made their name.

Edited by Chicago sportswriter John P. Carmichael, the book captures baseball’s golden age with personal, often humble reflections from the men who shaped it.

A vital artifact for vintage sports collectors and baseball historians, and not easy to find in this condition.
