The Athletics of Philadelphia: Connie Mack's White Elephants, 1901-1954
ISBN: 9780786406203 / Angielski / Miękka / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1901, American League president Ban Johnson convinced Connie Mack to move his Western League Milwaukee franchise to Philadelphia, strategically placing the team in the same market as the National League Phillies' and making the City of Brotherly Love a two-team town. The Athletics thus began their 54-year history. They won nine pennants and five World Series, yet finished last 16 times; they raided the Phillies roster in 1901, and later stripped themselves in a couple of baseball's first great fire sales; and they boasted the illustrious 100,000 dollar infield, yet were barely solvent.
