In what is sure to be the definitive book on Eddie Collins's life
and long career, author Rick Huhn covers the Hall of Fame player's
experiences from childhood through his days at Columbia University;
his tenure with the great Athletics clubs of 1906-1914, the highs
and lows of a championship and scandal with the White Sox, and his
return to the A's during their final run at greatness. By the time
his 25-year playing career had ended, he had been a pivotal
performer on five all-time great clubs, dominated his position like
no one before (or since), and earned a reputation for intelligent,
selfless play that followed him to Cooperstown. Also covered in
detail is his tenure with the Boston Red Sox, a team he served
variously as part owner, vice-president and general manager until
1951, when after 45 years in major league baseball a stroke
effectively ended his career and, weeks later, his life.
