Roger Bresnahan : A Baseball Life Paperback / softback
by John R. Husman
Paperback / softback
Description
Roger Bresnahan began his major league baseball career in 1897 as an 18-year-old pitcher and ended it in 1915 as a catcher, after famously introducing shin guards for the position.
He was so widely admired that the Baseball Hall of Fame awarded him a plaque only six years after it opened.
He played every position, coached, and managed. He survived a near-fatal accident on the field and, as a first responder, helped save lives during the aftermath of a horrific railroad crash.
He was later principal owner and president of the Toledo American Association franchise for eight years. This first-ever biography, based on many years of research, covers Bresnahan's entire life and playing career as it intersected with American history.
