He is a graduate of Ohio State University, and lives in Cleveland with his wife Vicki and two golden retrievers, Spencer and Hunter.. About the AuthorBaseball historian Scott Longert teaches courses on the origins of baseball
This book is a long-overdue biography of one of baseball's giants, but it is also a reminder of a time, of a way of life, and of the transience of fame. He left astonishing numbers, one transcendently great game, and a reputation as both a fine man and a fierce competitor.
