What baseball player had more hits than Babe Ruth, a better batting
average than Willie Mays, a better slugging average than Ty Cobb,
and more bases on balls than Stan Musial? This is the inspirational
story of Melvin Thomas Ott, who at the strapping age of sixteen
became a major league baseball player under the tutelage of the
legendary manager of the New York Giants, John McGraw. Beyond the
statistical record of this truly great baseball player, this book
focuses on Mel Ott's personal life, his strong family ties, and the
contributions which he made to the game of baseball. This volume is
enhanced by intimate contact with the Ott family, particularly his
daughters Lyn and Barbara, both of whom contributed to the story.
