About the Book:

Much has been written about the legendary players and managers of baseball’s dead ball era (1901-1919). Far less attention has been paid to club owners like Charles Ebbets. Over a 25 year career as president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, he built four pennant winning clubs and developed one of the most profitable franchises in the game - while building the legendary ball park that bore his name.
