Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Since it opened its doors 70 years ago, the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown has claimed the final word on who deserves baseball immortality and how the story of America's game should be told. The Hall's founding family, the superrich Clarks of Cooperstown, demanded only one thing. According to Rule 5 of the rules for election, inductees must be ballplayers of ability whose careers embody "integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s)" on which they played. Baseball players haven't changed since the old days, but secrets are harder to keep now. This book pulls back the veil to show the Hall's inner workings: the politics, the players, and the people who own and preserve it. Built on interviews and encounters with a lineup of Hall of Fame members, insiders, advocates, and critics, this is an irreverent and highly entertaining tour through the life of an American institution.Includes color and black and white pictures in the center of the book.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st US Edition. The first book to draw back the veil on the Hall of Fame, combining an insider's history of the Hall and its players with a consideration of baseball's place in culture.The National Baseball H all of Fame is the holiest institution in American sports. It's not just a place to honor great athletes. It's where America's pastime announces to the world what it is and what it wants to be. It's not just a sports museum; it's a mirror of American culture. As Zev Chafets points out, it's no coincidence that the first black Hall of Famer, Jackie Robinson, was inducted in 1962, at the height of the civil rights movement. Or that the Hall is now planning a wing to honor Latino players. For a hundred years, the story of the Hall of Fame has been deeply tied up with the story of America.For the first time, this book shows the inner workings of the Hall: the politics, the players, and the people who own and preserve it. From the history of the founding Clark family to a day on the town with the newly inducted Goose Gossage, from the battle over steroids to the economics of induction and secret campaigns by aspiring players, this is a highly irreverent and highly entertaining tour through the life of an American institution. For anyone who cares about baseball, this is essential reading. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers DADAX1596915455
