Book excerpt: From 1904 to 1942, Charles Conlon created some of baseball¿s most famous photos, showing heroes such as Home Run Baker, Christy Mathewson, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Wahoo Sam Crawford, Wee Willie Keeler, Cy Young, Babe Ruth, Dizzy Dean, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams. Conlon was attracted to every participant in the game -- the umpires, the managers, the coaches, and the fans. His photos were featured in the ¿Spalding Guide¿ and the ¿Reach Guide¿ for decades, and they are printed regularly today from old and degraded prints. 205 dazzling black and white images fill the pages of this volume. The lively anecdotal captions are filled with fresh quotes, the results of new research -- that accompany the photos. Oversize!
