Selected and newly printed from the 8000 original Conlon negatives in the archives of The Sporting News, 205 images fill the pages of Baseball's Golden Age. The glory of that time is conveyed too in the text. The authors have assembled evocative stories, packed with trivia, that bring these legendary baseball heroes to life. The big names included are Christy Mathewson, Cy Young, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth - but there are lots of less memorable players as well as umpires and fans.
