    Millions of American baseball fans know, with absolute certainty, that umpires are simply overpaid galoots who are doing an easy job badly. Bruce Weber, a New York Times reporter, not only interviewed dozens of professional umpires but entered their world, trained to become an umpire, and then spent a season working games from Little League to big league spring training. In addition to professional umpires, Weber spoke to current and former players including Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, Tom Glavine, Barry Zito, Paul Lo Duca, Kenny Lofton, Ron Darling, and Robin Yount, as well as former baseball commissioner Fay Vincent, Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox, Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland, and many others in the professional game.

We Would Have Played For Nothing : Baseball Stars Of The 1950s And 1960s Talk About The Game They Loved

  • We Would Have Played For Nothing : Baseball Stars Of The 1950s And 1960s Talk About The Game They Loved

  • Attribution

    Fay Vincent

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st Simon & Schuster hardcover ed, Simon & Schuster, 2008

  • Links

  • Description

    Former Major League Baseball commissioner Fay Vincent brings together a stellar roster of ballplayers from the 1950s and 1960s in this wonderful new history of the game. The era opened, though, with the domination of the New York teams: the Yankees, Dodgers, or Giants were in every World Series of the 1950s — but by the end of the decade the two National League teams had moved to California. But there were great teams and great ballplayers elsewhere in the 1950s and 1960s. We Would Have Played for Nothing is full of fascinating stories about how these great ballplayers broke into baseball, about the inevitable frustrations of trying to negotiate a contract with owners who always had the upper hand, and about great games and great stars-teammates and opponents-whose influence shaped these ballplayers’ lives forever.

  • Attribution

    Michael Ian Borer

  • Publication Details

    Book, New York University Press, 2008

  • Links

  • Description

    View the Table of Contents Read the Introduction “Along with his astute social scientific insight, Borer also includes plenty of first-person accounts of the ballpark from Red Sox greats like Carl Yastrzemski and Johnny Pesky and from regular Bostonians and out-of-town baseball fans. Borer, a sociologist and lifelong New Englander, explores the history of Fenway and its place in Bostons culture through research and interviews with players, stadium personnel, fans, and team owners…[H]e explains Fenway’s place in the culture as an example of identity continuity. In Faithful to Fenway, Michael Ian Borer takes us out to Fenway where we sit in cramped wooden seats (often with obstructed views of the playing field), where there is a hand-operated scoreboard and an average attendance of 20,000 less fans than most stadiums, and where every game has been sold out since May of 2003.
