The Old Ball Game: How John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, and the New York Giants Created Modern Baseball by Frank Deford
The Old Ball Game: How John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, and the New York Giants Created Modern Baseball

Jason Rohde, May 9, 2008

In typical Deford fashion, 'The Old Ball Game' was meticulously researched and is told in an eloquent manner and serves as a solid introdcution to John 'Little Napoleon' McGraw, Christy 'Big Six' Mathewson, and baseball in the early 1900's (before Babe Ruth). It is an enjoyable read providing insight to the unlikely bond between the gruff and hard driven McGraw and the All-American, Bucknell educated Mathewson.
