The book is a classic of American literature and a must-read for anyone interested in baseball or early 20th-century American culture.I suppose you and the rest of the boys in Bedford will be surprised to learn that I am out here, because I remember telling you when I was sold to San Francisco by the White Sox that not under no circumstances would I report here. I was pretty mad when Comiskey give me my release, because I didn't think I had been given a fair show by Callahan. I don't think so yet Al and I never will but Bill Sullivan the old White Sox catcher talked to me and told me not to pull no boner by refuseing to go where they sent me. He says You're only hurting yourself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
