[.ca] Connie Mack: A Life in Baseball (ISBN 0595121128)



Needs some serious editorial assistance:
It is evident that writing and publishing this book was a labor of love for its author, and for that he is to be commended. Although the book is primarily a narration of the highs and lows of the early and middle years of the Philadelphia Athletics, it does provide some basic biographical information on Connie Mack himself. As a devoted fan of the various incarnations of the Athletics, I appreciated this opportunity to learn more about their early years and become better acquainted with their legendary and revered manager/owner. However, be advised that this book is riddled with grammatical mistakes. I found that I was so distracted by having to decipher the text through all the mistakes that my appreciation of the book was greatly diminished. If you depend upon quality writing, as I do, then reading this book will not be an enjoyable experience.


THE DINOSAUR OF BASEBALL:
THIS IS A GOOD ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE OF CONNICE MACK AND THE HISTORY OF THE PHILADELPHIA A'S. THE BOOK SPENDS MORE TIME ON A SEASON BY SEASON HISTORY OF THE A'S THAN ON THE LIFE OF CONNIE MACK BUT IT IS VERY INTERESTING AND VERY FACT FILLED. I ENJOYED THIS BOOK AND RECOMMEND IT FOR HISTORIANS AND BASEBALL FANS. CONNIE WAS TRULY ONE OF A KIND OWNER. HIS YEARS IN BASEBALL ARE UNSURPASSED AND HIS LEGEND WILL LIVE FOREVER. A GOOD READ.
