Meet the Author - Addie Joss: King of the Pitchers by Scott Longert

The great Addie Joss lived and died before Ty Cobb's career was even a quarter over, before George Ruth became the Babe, before the Snodgrass muff, before the miracle Braves and before newsreel cameras could capture what made him a legend. Fortunately, we have this book, meticulously researched and masterfully told, to take us back to the dawn of the 20th century for some of the greatest baseball ever played. Joss played his entire career in a Cleveland uniform, setting astonishing records that stand today and making a reputation for himself as a fine man and a fierce competitor. This long-overdue biography reminds us a time long-gone, a way of life and a game we love as it once was played. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event.
