Fred Lieb, the dean of baseball writers, tells about its heroes, rogues, controversies, and grand plays. He broke in as a sportswriter in the Polo Grounds press box in 1911. In 1933, in the midst of the Depression, Lieb was fired from the New York Post and began a freelance career writing about his beloved sport.\n\nBaseball As I Have Known It, first published in 1977 when Lieb was eighty-nine years old, remains a vital record of a glorious bygone era. In superb style, he comments on changes in baseball over the decades and tells inside stories about great events and immortal players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44989321642037,"sku":"ByrdShop_0698108159","price":92.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780698108158_016870e8-6c78-45a0-a05a-ac6cc92277bb.jpg?v=1778671905","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/baseball-as-i-knew-it-9780698108158","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
