Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... escape route if he so desired. But the fear of fire was not his real reason for this attitude, as later developed. Jennings found his man looking heavy eyed and falling off in his batting one season, and began to suspect that he was not taking the best of care of himself. Therefore, he set a watch on him to see that he went to bed in good time. When Jennings kicked to him about his sluggishness, he complained that he was ill. "I believe," he said, "that I must have a touch of malaria, and it has taken all the 'pep' out of me." One night this particular player, who had been loafing around the lobby of a hotel talking to Jennings, finally rose, stretched, yawned, and said: "Well, me for the hay to see if I can't get back some of this old ' pep.'" "That's the stuff," answered "Hughie," heartily. The player walked to the elevator in full view of the manager and climbed aboard. After watching the elevator for a while, Jennings met some friends and went off to a quiet place where they fell to discussing baseball so vigorously that the meeting was not terminated until about four o'clock in the morning. While Jennings was waiting to ascend in the elevator in which the boy was sleeping while it was stopped at some upper story, he saw a familiar figure roll into the lobby. Jennings ducked behind one of those property palms that you find in every hotel lobby where the player could not see him. Then he waited until the wanderer had pushed the elevator button three or four times. At last, the boy was awakened, and the car appeared. Jennings slipped out from behind the palm and climbed into the elevator. "Do you walk in your sleep?" inquired "Hughie," sardonically. "I thought you were going to the feathers about half-past ten." "A friend of mine was...

Published in 1914, Busting 'Em was the first of three books credited to Ty Cobb the author. Though in fact it was ghostwritten by John N. Wheeler, who also penned Mathewson's Pitching in a Pinch, the book fascinates with its insights into Cobb as a public figure. The reader is presented Cobb's explanation of the beating incident at Hilltop Park, the Baker spiking, and his contentious relationship with teammates. His thoughts--or those he sanctioned--of umpires, his contemporaries, crowds, and strategy are also shared. This book, long out of print and increasingly hard to find, is essential reading for those who would understand Cobb's awareness of and investment in the shape of his public image.

Ty Cobb called baseball a “red-blooded game for red-blooded men,” warning that “molly coddles had better stay out.” By this, Cobb meant that baseball was the ultimate expression of the masculine ideal – a game of aggression, rivalry, physical and mental dexterity, self-reliance, and primal honor. For over twenty years, Cobb expressed his fierce brand of manhood in ballparks throughout the American Northeast, gaining for himself a level of celebrity that was unsurpassed in the early twentieth century. Fans idolized Cobb not only because he was the best player in the game, but because his boisterous and combative style of play satisfied their desire for exhibitions of visceral manhood. They found in Cobb an antidote for what they feared were the corrupting influences of over-civilization. With balance, precision, and empathy, Steven Elliott Tripp brings the era to life in a narrative Publisher’s Weekly has called “stunning.” In contrast to recent biographies of Cobb that have tried to minimize his more brutish behavior and minimize his racial antipathies, Tripp contextualizes Cobb, placing him squarely within the cultural milieu of both the rural South of his birth and the Northern sporting culture of his professional career. Moreover, Tripp’s reconstruction of early twentieth-century sporting culture isolates an important source of modern America’s culture of hyper-masculinity. Ty Cobb, Baseball, and American Manhood is both an important work of social and cultural history and an absorbing tale of ambition and the quest for dominance. Tripp has written the rare narrative that is as appealing to scholars as it is to general readers and sports enthusiasts.

The definitive work on the language of baseball—one of the “Five Best Baseball Books” (Wall Street Journal). Hailed as “a staggering piece of scholarship” (Wall Street Journal) and “an indispensable guide to the language of baseball” (San Diego Union-Tribune), The Dickson Baseball Dictionary has become an invaluable resource for those who love the game. Drawing on dozens of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century periodicals, as well as contemporary sources, Dickson’s brilliant, illuminating definitions trace the earliest appearances of terms both well known and obscure. This edition includes more than 10,000 terms with 18,000 individual entries, and more than 250 photos. This “impressively comprehensive” (The Nation) book will delight everyone from the youngest fan to the hard-core aficionado.
