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.

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.
