This book tells the story of baseball's metamorphosis 1945-1962, driven by larger-than-life personalities like the bombastic Larry MacPhail, the sage Branch Rickey, the kindly Connie Mack, the quick-witted Bill Veeck and the wily Walter O'Malley—Hall of Famers all. The upheaval they sparked—and sometimes failed to control—would broaden the sport's appeal, setting the stage for tremendous growth in the half-century to come.
