About the Book

Noted baseball historian Norman L. Macht brings together a wide-ranging collection of baseball voices from the Deadball Era through the 1970s, including nine Hall of Famers, who take the reader onto the field, into the dugouts and clubhouses, and inside the minds of both players and managers. These engaging, wide-ranging oral histories bring surprising revelations--both highlights and lowlights--about their careers, as they revisit their personal mental scrapbooks of the days when they played the game.

Not all of baseball's best stories are told by its biggest stars, especially when the stories are about those stars. Many of the storytellers you'll meet in They Played the Game are unknown to today's fans: the Red Sox's Charlie Wagner talks about what it was like to be Ted Williams's roommate in Williams's rookie year; the Dodgers' John Roseboro recounts his strategy when catching for Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax; former Yankee Mark Koenig recalls batting ahead of Babe Ruth in the lineup, and sometimes staying out too late with him; John Francis Daley talks about batting against Walter Johnson; Carmen Hill describes pitching against Babe Ruth in the 1927 World Series.
About the Author: Norman L. Macht is the author of more than thirty books, including Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball (Nebraska, 2007); Connie Mack: The Turbulent and Triumphant Years, 1915-1931 (Nebraska, 2012); and The Grand Old Man of Baseball: Connie Mack in His Final Years, 1932-1956 (Nebraska, 2015); as well as numerous biographies for middle school readers including Cy Young, Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig.
