Addie Joss on Baseball : Collected Newspaper Columns and World Series Reports, 1907-1909 Paperback / softback
by Addie Joss, Gary Mitchem, Mark Durr
Paperback / softback
Description
Addie Joss (1880-1911) mowed down batters for the Cleveland Broncos/Naps from 1902 to 1910 before his career was cut short by his tragic death from tubercular meningitis in 1911.
With a career ERA of 1.89 and two no-hitters, Joss earned Hall of Fame election despite a career that lasted less than ten years, the only player to do so.
In the off-season, Joss also excelled as a sportswriter for the Toledo News-Bee and the Cleveland Press, filling the empty winter months penning stories about the game he knew firsthand.
This collection of Joss's newspaper columns and World Series reports is a treasury of the Dead-ball Era, intimate first-person observations of the game and its players from the first decade of the American League. Informative annotations, archival photographs, and a brief biography complete the work.
