A propos de cet article

Format is approximately 6 inches by 8.5 inches. xiii, [1], 290 pages. Illustrations. Appendix. Bibliography. Index. Tom Stanton (born December 17, 1960) is the author of several nonfiction books. In 1983, Stanton, a journalist, co-founded The Voice Newspapers in Detroit and served as editor for sixteen years then embarking on a literary career in 1999. Stanton teaches journalism at the University of Detroit Mercy. In 2008, Stanton won the Michigan Author Award. Stanton's first baseball book was The Final Season, a memoir of the last season of Detroit Tigers baseball at historic Tiger Stadium. The book won Spitball Magazine's CASEY Award and Elysian Field Quarterly's Dave Moore Award. He wrote Ty and The Babe, about longtime rivals who became friends in retirement. A finalist for Publishers Weekly's Quill Awards (Sports Division) and the Great Lakes Booksellers Association's Nonfiction Book of the Year. For much of fourteen seasons, the Cobb-Ruth rivalry occupied both men and enthralled a generation of fans. Even their retirement didn't extinguish it. A quarter century after they first met at Navin Field, Cobb and Ruth rekindled their long-simmering feud-this time on the golf course. Ty and Babe battled on the fairways of Long Island, New York; Newton, Massachusetts; and Grosse Ile, Michigan; in a series of charity matches that spawned headlines and catapulted them into the spotlight. Ty and The Babe is the story of their remarkable relationship. It is a tale of grand gestures and jealousies, spectacular feats and dirty tricks, mind games and athleticism, confrontations, good humor, and, ultimately, friendship. Ty and The Babe conjures the rollicking cities of New York, Boston, and Detroit and the world of baseball from 1915 to 1928, as it moved from the Deadball days of Cobb to the Lively Ball era of Ruth.
