Hal Trosky - A Baseball Biography (Paperback)

Hal Trosky played first base for the Cleveland Indians during the
Great Depression, a time when the American League included perhaps
the greatest trio of first basemen ever: Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx,
and Hank Greenberg. Because of the phenomenal feats of those
players, Trosky's story was consigned to the figurative back page
of history. He led the American League in Runs Batted In in 1936,
was elected to the Indians' All-Time team in 1969, and at his peak
played at a level comparable to anyone in the game. His career was
tragically cut short due to an onset of severe migraine headaches,
and he was out of baseball by the age of 34, but his playing days
spanned the time from Babe Ruth through the end of World War II.
Until now, his story has never been entirely told. This book
combines access to Trosky family archives with exhaustive research
in order to craft a narrative of Trosky's life. From his early
years in Iowa, through his entire major league career and
throughout his life after baseball, this book looks at the man on
and off the diamond, and on the legacy that remains.
