A propos de cet article

xxiii, [1], 359, [1] pages. Illustrations. Appendix. Index. Ink notation on fep. DJ is price clipped. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Ed Linn was an author and magazine writer who collaborated with the maverick baseball owner Bill Veeck on three books and wrote widely on the Yankees and the Red Sox. Mr. Linn covered the trial of Jack Ruby for The Saturday Evening Post and worked with the infamous bank robber Willie Sutton on his autobiography, ''Where the Money Was''. But he was best known for sportswriting, having been a contributing editor to Sport magazine and co-author with Mr. Veeck for ''Veeck -- As in Wreck'', ''The Hustler's Handbook'' and ''Thirty Tons a Day''. Mr. Linn also collaborated with Sandy Koufax, Bob Cousy and Leo Durocher on their autobiographies. He wrote ''Inside the Yankees: The Championship Season'', ''Steinbrenner's Yankees'' and ''The Great Rivalry'', an account of the Yankee-Red Sox duels. Traces the history of the rivalry between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, from its inception to the present, and profiles the participants--Ruth, DiMaggio, Williams, and others. This is a tale studded with heroes and events of Homeric proportions: Babe Ruth, perhaps the greatest of them all, whose fateful sale to the Yankees at the hands of Harry Frazee put things in high gear; the 1927 home-run derby between the Babe and Lou Gehrig--the two of them together had more home runs that season than any full club; Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio, whose unrivaled hitting feats in 1941 marks one of the high points in the game and the end of the golden age of pre-World War II baseball; the pennant race of 1948 and 1949, when the Yankees and Red Sox battled it our to the final day; and the biggest upset in baseball history, in 1967, when the Red Sox came from ninth place to the pennant. This history is replete with larger-than-life characters.…
