Hall of Famer Charles Albert Bender has been the subject of renewed
interest in recent years, as researchers have usefully described
his experiences as an American Indian who dominated a game played
mostly by whites. Lost in much of the discussion, however, has been
Bender's steady excellence on the mound, where, year in and year
out, he was one of the great pitchers in an age famous for
pitching.
This biography puts the emphasis squarely on Bender the player,
and in particular on the more than 330 regular-season starts in his
16 year major league career, which began and ended in the deadball
era. New attention is also given to his time in the minors and to
his days after major league stardom, when he worked as a coach and
a scout.
