Product Information

In The Grand Old Man of Baseball, Norman L. Macht chronicles Connie Mack's tumultuous final two decades in baseball. After Mack had built one of baseball's greatest teams, the 1929-31 Philadelphia Athletics, the Depression that followed the stock market crash fundamentally reshaped Mack's legacy as his team struggled on the field and at the gate. Among the challenges Mack faced: a sharp drop in attendance that forced him to sell his star players; the rise of the farm system, which he was slow to adopt; the opposition of other owners to night games, which he favored; the postwar integration of baseball, which he initially opposed; a split between the team's heirs (Mack's sons Roy and Earle on one side, their half brother Connie Jr. on the other) that tore apart the family and forced Mack to choose-unwisely-between them; and, finally, the disastrous 1951-54 seasons in which Roy and Earle ran the club to the brink of bankruptcy. By now aged and mentally infirm, Mack watched in bewilderment as the business he had built fell apart. Broke and in debt, Roy and Earle feuded over the sale of the team. In a never-before-revealed series of maneuvers, Roy double-crossed his father and brother and the team was sold and moved to Kansas City in 1954. In Macht's third volume of his trilogy on Mack, he describes the physical, mental, and financial decline of Mack's final years, which unfortunately became a classic American tragedy. Norman L. Macht is the author of more than thirty books, including Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball (Nebraska, 2007) and Connie Mack: The Turbulent and Triumphant Years, 1915-1931 (Nebraska, 2012), as well as biographies of Cy Young, Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig. He is a member of the Society for American Baseball Research.

Reviews
"Connie Mack may not have been a swatter of home runs or a .300 hitter but he lasted in the game longer than just about anybody. He truly is a baseball legend and his entire story has just been written so thoroughly that it should be considered the final word on the subject." --Baseball Historian, "[ The Grand Old Man of Baseball ] must stand as the go-to resource on one of baseball's most legendary figures."--David Welky, Journal of Sport History, "Impeccably researched and finely judged, The Grand Old Man of Baseball , the third volume of Norman Macht's definitive biography of Connie Mack, combines fascinating detail with narrative skill to dispel the uncertainty and confusion that has long surrounded the sale and relocation of the Philadelphia Athletics to Kansas City, setting the record straight on what really happened."--Bob Warrington, Philadelphia baseball historian and author, Praise for Norman L. Macht's earlier volumes on Connie Mack:   "A major addition to the study of the game and its longest-serving icon."-- NINE: A Journal of Baseball History and Culture   "As a catcher and manager, Connie Mack deserves much of the credit for writing 'The Book' on baseball strategy and the managing of men. How he did it all is told here for the first time."--Roland Hemond, three-time winner of Major League Baseball's Executive of the Year award   "A biography of Mack cannot help but be a history of baseball in the first half of the twentieth century, and this biography is a feast of interesting facts and judgments."--George F. Will, syndicated columnist and author of Men at Work: The Craft of Baseball   "Like the man he continues to so capably chronicle, Norman Macht is astute, authoritative, and meticulous. If you want to learn about twentieth-century baseball, you'll have to read this book."--Bob Edmonds, McCormick Messenger  , "If ever a baseball book could be called a definitive biography, this examination of Connie Mack can."--Ross Atkin, Christian Science Monitor, "Mack's effect was far-reaching. So, too, is Macht's treatment of Mack's career."-- Bob D'Angelo's Books & Blogs
