Summary: More Information Needed on this First World Series
Comment: I found this to be an enjoyable book to read in two sittings. I do think the title is somewhat misleading. The book is only 208 pages long with not a whole lot having to do with the World Series. Some of the book is spent on the Boston Royal Rooters cheering section along with its leaders Mike "Nuf Sed" McGreevey and John "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald. This was appropriate, but I found too much of the book to be a description of the ethnic groups that made up the city of Boston at the turn of the century. I suppose the author felt that had to be done to increase the size of the book. The author, Roger Abrams, is a Professor of Law at Northeastern University which sits on the site of the old Huntington Avenue Grounds where the first World Series games were played in Boston. For additional information on the first World Series you may want to read Autumn Glory by Louis Masur.

Summary: A book for baseball and Americana fans
Comment: Highly entertaining and informative book about the 1903 series includes historical backgrounds of early baseball.However American history fans will also enjoy stories of the people of Boston and Pittsburgh of that era.Well researched.Only quibble is the lack of footnotes,though a bibliography is included.
