Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"You've certainly heard of the 1919 Black Sox Scandal, "Shoeless Joe" and the other "outlaws," but do their stories end in a Windy City courtroom? When banished from baseball, an "outlaw" had two options: hang up the cleats, or find an outlaw league roster spot. SOUTHWESTERN OUTLAW BASEBALL is a meandering enumeration of baseball's westward expansion with some skillfully-placed geographical and historical tidbits, concluding with the collapse of the outlaw Copper League in 1927. From "Bean Town" to Bisbee and points in between, SOUTHWESTERN OUTLAW BASEBALL paints a poetic picture of some disgraced athletes who weren't quite ready to put their flannels in mothballs."
