The Glory of Their Times: The Story of the Early Days of Baseball Told by the Men Who Played It

one of the most memorable and saddest experiences of my life was visiting with Larry Ritter as he was dying at Roosevelt hospital. i had befriended Larry 10 years ago and found him equally knowledgeable about finance and old time and Negro Baseball. He traveled in a Yankees bus.

while visiting him on his last days a big curmudgeon walked in. we discussed Glory and I mentioned that the spoken words of it was just as good as the book. the curmudgeon said he never listened to radio, tv, computers or anything else. he didn't believe in any of the modern.

I was not surprised when he tried to ruin the US economy shortly thereafter. Paul Volcker was proud to be wrecker. The curmudgeon was a colleague of Larry's at NYU.
