This first book-length biography of Jimmy Collins examines the life
of an intensely private, business-oriented ballplayer who was the
first third baseman to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Collins' life is covered in depth from his early years growing up
in Buffalo, through his 14-year major league baseball career
1895-1908 primarily in Boston, to his post-baseball life as a real
estate investor. This book sheds new light on Collins' motivations
to leverage his baseball success--which included leading Boston to
victory in the first modern-day World Series in 1903--into
lucrative baseball contracts to fund his real estate investments.
When he led the Boston Americans to successive American League
championships in 1903 and 1904, Collins was instrumental in the
foundation of today's highly successful Boston Red Sox franchise
and its intense rivalry with the New York Yankees.
