In late 1922, Judge Emil Fuchs purchased the woebegone Boston
Braves--primarily to bring his ailing friend, Christy Mathewson,
back into the game he loved so much. A true fan, Judge Fuchs poured
his fortune into the team, intent on giving Boston's long-suffering
National League fans a winner. He introduced Ladies' Days,
contracted to have Braves games broadcast on radio, and
successfully campaigned to allow Sunday baseball in Boston.
Moreover, he gave the fans a competitive team, climaxed by the
Braves' dramatic pennant race with the New York Giants in 1933. The
Depression, however, weakened his financial position to the point
where in 1935 Fuchs was forced to give up the team. Using Judge
Fuchs' unfinished autobiography, the memories of his son who worked
in the organization, and extensive additional research, this story
of an owner and an era is complete.
