In 1954, one year after Baltimore bought the St. Louis Browns, the
New York Yankees hired former Browns executive and owner William O.
DeWitt as assistant to general manager George Weiss. "DeWitt," the
paper announced, "was considered an astute baseball man who would
have a definite role to play with the Yankees." Baseball fans had
assumed that once the Yankees were no longer the American League's
doormats, DeWitt would quietly retire. But DeWitt, a protege of
Branch Rickey, was shrewd and intelligent and his years with the
Browns were only the beginning of a long and fascinating career,
including his years as owner and general manager of the Cincinnati
Reds. This first ever biography focuses on the life and career of a
baseball executive who contributed greatly to America's pastime.
