This book chronicles the 1924 baseball season concisely and interestingly, alternating chapters on the course of the season's field play with chapters elucidating more general matters such as the economics of the teams, the game experience for the fans, and the lives of the players. The author's prose is a model of precision; he can bring a player who was just a name to life by deploying a phrase or even a lone adjective. In Utopia there would be a book of this quality for every season. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

No season in the history of baseball has matched 1924 for escalating excitement and emotional investment by fans. It began with observers expecting yet another World Series between the Yankees and the Giants. It ended months later when the Washington Nationals (Senators), making their first Series appearance, grabbed the world championship by scoring the season-ending run on an improbable play in the bottom of the twelfth inning of the seventh game. On the eve of the return of major league baseball to Washington, D.C., Baseball's Greatest Season recovers the memory of the one and only time when the championship of the national pastime resided in the nation's capital.
