Author Tom Wolf on Baseball in 1926

from Hello Old Sports

1926 was one of the most dynamic and exciting seasons in baseball history, featuring legends like Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, Grover Cleveland Alexander, and Ty Cobb. It saw a gambling scandal involving two of the greatest players in baseball history, a mid-season acquisition that changed the history of a franchise, and a parallel season in the Negro Leagues with some of the all time greats in Black Baseball history. And it all ended with an epic seven game World Series between the Yankees and the Cardinals. Author Tom Wolf joins us to talk about his book, "Baseball in the Roaring Twenties: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and the Captivating 1926 Season".
