One of early baseball's most popular celebrities, Arlie Latham
played for the St. Louis Browns in the 1880s. A brainy hitter and
base-runner, he was also the sport's brashest, funniest player, his
""fresh"" personality bringing him as much trouble as reward. He
played with the 19th century's greatest names, and was friends with
everyone from King Kelly to King George V. He parlayed his stardom
into a vaudeville career and the first official major league
coaching job. In his fifties he carried the game he loved into
world war to cheer Allied troops and in his seventies went to work
for the Yankees. Arlie Latham's baseball odyssey is made more
compelling by the parade of players, gamblers, boxers, actors,
women and mascots that passes through it, providing a unique
glimpse into America's game and the people who loved it.
