THE GLORY YEARS
Donna and I drove to Naples FL a week ago. It is a long drive from Chicago. To make the drive more fun, we listened to the audio book, THE GLORY OF THEIR TIMES, as we drove. It is a remarkable book.
GLORY was the brainchild of Lawrence Ritter. He taught finance at New York University, but was an avid baseball fan too. During his vacations, he sought out and interviewed baseball players who had played in the major leagues during the early years of the 20th century. Originally, in 1966, Ritter published a version of GLORY featuring edited transcripts of his interviews.
